New Mexico Statutes Chapter 30. Criminal Offenses § 30-16-15. Coercing the purchase of insurance from particular broker

Coercing the purchase of insurance from particular broker consists of any person engaged in selling real or personal property, or the lending of money, requiring as a condition precedent to the sale, financing the purchase of such property or the lending of money, or the renewal of extension of any loan or mortgage, that the purchaser of such property, or recipient of the financial assistance negotiate any policy of insurance or renewal thereof through a particular insurance company, agent, solicitor or broker.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the exercise by any person of the right to designate minimum standards as to the company, the terms and provisions of the policy and the adequacy of the coverage with respect to insurance on property pledged or mortgaged to such person.

Whoever commits coercing the purchase of insurance from particular broker is guilty of a petty misdemeanor.
