The bill amends the definition of "personal information" within the Motor Vehicle Code of New Mexico. The updated definition now includes additional identifiers such as sex, gender identity, immigration status, and national origin, while explicitly excluding information related to vehicles, vehicle ownership, vehicular accidents, driving violations, or driver status. This change aims to enhance the protection of individual privacy by clarifying what constitutes personal information in the context of motor vehicle records.

Additionally, the bill removes the reference to medical or disability information from the definition of "personal information." This deletion suggests a shift in focus towards more general identifiers while potentially streamlining the types of information that are considered sensitive under the law. Overall, the amendments reflect an effort to modernize the legal framework surrounding personal data in the realm of motor vehicles.
