The proposed bill establishes a public registry for individuals convicted of cruelty to animals and extreme cruelty to animals in New Mexico. Under the new provisions, individuals convicted under Section 30-18-1 NMSA 1978 are required to register with the county sheriff in their residence county. The registration process mandates the submission of personal information, including legal name, date of birth, social security number, address, offense details, telephone number, any professional licenses, and a photograph. The county sheriff will maintain a local registry, while the Department of Public Safety will manage a central registry accessible to the public.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the Department of Public Safety will create a website to provide public access to information about registered individuals, including their legal names, offenses, and photographs. It also stipulates that individuals must update their registration within five business days if they change their residence to a different county. The court will notify convicted individuals of their registration obligations, and the Department of Public Safety is tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement these provisions.
