SANTA FE 鈥� New Mexico will soon join other states in restricting how data from automatic license plate cameras can be obtained and used, after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed off on legislation approved by state lawmakers with bipartisan support.

The legislation, , was also backed by local law enforcement officials and was one of 19 bills signed into law over the last two days by the governor. It will take effect July 1.

Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen testified in support of the legislation during this year鈥檚 30-day session, and a spokeswoman for the Sheriff鈥檚 Office said Thursday the bill will put clear guardrails around the use of automatic license plate readers while still allowing law enforcement officers to use them.

鈥淭he bill strengthens accountability by establishing defined permissible uses, documentation requirements, auditability, and access controls,鈥� said Bernalillo County Sheriff鈥檚 Office spokeswoman Jayme Gonzales. 鈥淭hat balance is important; technology should help protect people while respecting civil liberties.鈥� 

She also said law enforcement agencies routinely use the license plate readers to check for stolen cars or individuals wanted on criminal charges, and to confirm the location and movement of vehicles in real time.

The New Mexico law will specifically prohibit data from the license plate readers from being shared for purposes of immigration enforcement and investigating individuals seeking abortion services. It will also bar using the data to try to identify people who take part in protests or other activities protected by the U.S. Constitution.

While some Republican lawmakers voted in favor of the bill, others opposed it during legislative debate as an attempt to undermine federal policy initiatives.

But backers say the legislation will bolster New Mexicans鈥� privacy and safety in the face of escalating mass surveillance.

Daniel Williams, a policy advocate for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, said research by the organization found New Mexico license plate cameras had been accessed for thousands of immigration-related searches.

He also said a sheriff鈥檚 office in neighboring Texas, where abortion is largely banned, had accessed New Mexico camera data in search of information about a woman who had self-managed an abortion.

鈥淭he broad support this bill enjoyed in the Legislature is evidence that New Mexicans don鈥檛 want the tools of mass surveillance to needlessly intrude on our privacy,鈥� Williams said in a Thursday statement.

At least already have laws that address the use of automatic license plate readers. Some states like Arkansas prohibit the use of the technology, while others like California limit how long law enforcement agencies can retain the data and prohibit it from being sold to outside entities, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Meanwhile, Lujan Grisham has now signed 38 of the 74 bills approved by the Legislature during this year鈥檚 session, which ended Feb. 19.

She has until March 11 to act on the remaining 36 bills, which include an $11.1 billion budget bill and a tax package that includes tax breaks for physicians and local news organizations. Her office announced Thursday afternoon she would sign a high-profile medical malpractice bill and three other bills on Friday.

Any bills not signed before the governor鈥檚 bill-signing deadline are automatically vetoed under what鈥檚 known as a 鈥減ocket veto.鈥�
