New Mexico law

Administrative Laws in New Mexico.

New Mexico administrative law is governed by the New Mexico State Rules Act (NMSA 1978 §§ 14-4-1 et seq.), which governs rulemaking procedures, and the Uniform Licensing Act (NMSA 1978 §§ 61-1-1 et seq.) and Administrative Hearings Office Act (NMSA 1978 §§ 7-1B-1 et seq.) for contested cases. Agency rules are published in the New Mexico Administrative Code. Contested cases for licensing and tax matters are increasingly heard by the Administrative Hearings Office (AHO), established in 2015. Final agency decisions are reviewable in district court.
