HM 54 New Mexico House · 2026 Regular Session

MOBILE HOME PARKS UTILITIES PRC WORKING GROUP

This memorial (HM 54) requests New Mexico's Public Regulation Commission to form a working group focused on improving utility access for mobile home park tenants. It directly affects the PRC, mobile home park owners, tenants, and utility providers by seeking recommendations for consistent rules governing water, electricity, gas, and sewer services. The working group must include diverse stakeholders - like tenant and owner associations, utility representatives, and low-income advocates - and report by November 2026. The memorial does not create new laws but aims to develop a regulatory framework addressing frequent utility disruptions faced by tenants, who often rent land while owning their mobile homes.
