NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The New Mexico Department of Justice is urging state lawmakers to get stricter on hazing this upcoming session. Attorney General Raúl Torrez has proposed legislation that would establish penalties for hazing as a crime. The proposal comes after the New Mexico Department of Justice report on the New Mexico State hazing scandal which revealed a toxic culture within the men's basketball program program. Penalties from the proposal would be: Misdemeanor: Participating in harmful conduct connected to a student’s recruitment, initiation, or affiliation with a student organization, including athletic teams.  Misdemeanor: Failure to report known or suspected hazing by an administrator, faculty member, coach, employee, independent contractor, or volunteer.  Fourth-Degree Felony: Hazing resulting in physical or significant psychological harm.  Third-Degree Felony: Hazing causing great physical harm.  Second-Degree Felony: Hazing resulting in death.  "We think it's a balanced approach. We think it's a necessary element of any comprehensive package, but I do want to stress the fact that it's far past time for New Mexico to move on these issues," said Torrez. Another bill Torrez proposed would define cyberbullying as its own specific crime. The maximum charge under that law would be a third-degree felony. Penalties from the proposal would be: Misdemeanor: Cyberbullying without resulting physical or psychological harm.  Fourth-Degree Felony: Cyberbullying causing physical or significant psychological harm.  Third-Degree Felony: Cyberbullying resulting in great physical harm.
