Senate Bill 318 (Industry Liability) was on the agenda for yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee meeting; however it was never brought up for consideration. The committee will meet again on Wednesday March 12, where it could be considered. With less than two weeks remaining in the 2025 legislative session, it's critical that NRA members and Second Amendment supporters stay vigilant and involved as legislation can come up on a moment's notice. Click the “Take Action” button below to urge the committee members to oppose SB 318.
SB 318 expands the New Mexico Unfair Practices Act to include firearms, parts, and accessories, imposing severe penalties of $250,000 per violation and holding manufacturers, distributors, and online platforms jointly liable for actions by third parties. It allows private lawsuits without proof of harm and grants sweeping authority to the Attorney General to pursue civil penalties. This overreach increases compliance costs, threatens lawful businesses with excessive litigation, and raises serious constitutional and interstate commerce concerns, all while doing little to address criminal misuse of firearms.
Again, use the "Take Action" button to contact members of the committees today!
