EPIC Testifies in Support of New Mexico Privacy Bill
February 14, 2025

EPIC Executive Director Alan Butler testified this week in support of HB 307, the Internet Privacy & Safety Act.
The bill includes two key provisions that make a strong privacy bill: (1) data minimization rules limiting the data companies can collect and how they can use and transfer that data and (2) a private right of action that would allow consumers to sue companies for violating their privacy rights.
The bill includes other protections for consumers, including heightened protections for sensitive data, civil rights language that prohibits data-driven discrimination, and requirements that entities make their default settings the most privacy-protective option.
Parts of the bill were based on EPIC and Consumer Reports’ model state privacy bill. EPIC urges the New Mexico Legislature to pass this important legislation to protect the privacy of their constituents.
