Vetoed by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (Democratic) on March 07, 2024.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

The updated version of SB 129 introduces a new definition for "public body," which clarifies the scope of entities covered under the Cybersecurity Act. It also sets requirements for public entities that receive state funding to report on their cybersecurity practices and ensure compliance with specific information security standards. These changes are significant because they aim to strengthen cybersecurity measures across public organizations, thereby protecting sensitive information and maintaining public trust in government operations.
