New Mexico

Subnational jurisdiction · as of 2026-07-15

New Mexico has not enacted an age verification or age gating law covering adult content, social media, app stores, or design codes as of mid-2026. Two Digital Age Verification Act bills in the 2025 regular session, HB 44 (website age verification) and HB 313 (device and app store age verification), both died in committee without a floor vote in either chamber. The state's Attorney General has instead relied on New Mexico's general Unfair Practices Act to pursue child safety claims against Meta, winning a $375 million jury verdict in March 2026 and seeking court-ordered age verification in a public nuisance phase tried in May 2026, but that litigation does not rest on an age-verification statute.
