Chatbot Laws Which laws apply?

New Mexico chatbot laws

New Mexico has no law that specifically regulates AI chatbots, as of November 4, 2026.

Joining a letter or court filing is not a lawsuit or a finding against any company.

Other New Mexico laws that may matter

  • Consumer protection law: New Mexico Unfair Practices Act (NMSA 1978, sections 57-12-1 et seq.). It applies to businesses generally, not to chatbots specifically; whether it reaches a particular chatbot practice is a legal question.

The 2027 legislative session

The New Mexico Legislature convenes on January 19, 2027, and bills can be pre-filed from January 4, 2027. New chatbot bills will be added to our 2027 tracker as they are filed.

What still applies

Without a state chatbot law, companies serving New Mexico residents may still face other states' laws when they serve users there, general consumer protection law and federal rules. Congress is considering 13 chatbot bills; see federal bills.
