SB 123 – New Mexico

Status: Inactive / Dead
Year Introduced: 2021
Link: https://www.nmlegis.gov/Legislation/Legislation?chamber=S&legType=B&legNo=123&year=21

Senate Bill 123 adds physician assistants and pharmacists to a list of health care providers who are given protection against enforcement of non-compete clauses. The last addition to the list, in 2017, was of nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives. (Section 24-1I-1 NMSA 1978).
This would bring physician assistants and pharmacists into parity with these groups, as well as with osteopathic and allopathic physician, podiatrists, and certified registered nurse anesthetists. A non-compete clause, or provision, in a contract is defined in Section 24 1I-2 as one that restricts the ability of one of the named professionals to provide care in New Mexico, usually to “compete” with a previous employer.
