New Mexico

Title: Use Of Certain Proper Names by State

Mandates that state agencies in New Mexico, when referring to real property adjacent to Jordan that was restored to Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War, must use the terms “Judea and Samaria,” “Judea,” or “Samaria” in official government materials, which include administrative rules, briefings, communications, guidance, press releases, and work product documents, but specifically exclude teaching or research materials from post-secondary instructors. The bill explicitly prohibits the use of the term “West Bank” in these official government materials. A “state agency” is defined broadly to encompass all branches and employees of the New Mexico state government

This antisemitism redefinition executive order directs all state agencies to adopt and use the distorted IHRA definition of antisemitism, including its contemporary examples that target advocacy for Palestinian rights. State agencies are required to consider the IHRA definition for the purposes of determining whether an alleged act of discrimination was motivated by antisemitic intent. Additionally, the order requires the IHRA definition to be used as an educational tool for anti-bias training for state personnel.
