SB 113 New Mexico Senate · 2025 Regular Session

BOARD & COMMISSION SUNSET DATES

SB 113 extends the operational deadlines for five New Mexico regulatory boards and commissions by delaying their sunset dates from 2025 to 2031. This allows the Board of Nursing Home Administrators, Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, Board of Landscape Architects, Coal Surface Mining Commission, and Water Quality Control Commission to continue operating under existing laws until July 1, 2032. The bill specifically amends each board's governing statute to extend their termination date and postpones the repeal of their respective enabling acts until 2032. These changes directly affect the professionals regulated by these boards (such as nurses, cosmetologists, landscape architects, and mining operators) and the agencies managing their licensing. The bill does not alter the boards' current regulatory authority but provides a temporary extension of their operational period.
