Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE ENGINEER; PROVIDING FOR HEARINGS TO BE HELD IN SANTA FE OR BY VIDEO CONFERENCE; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

AI Summary

This bill amends New Mexico law to allow the State Engineer to hold hearings in Santa Fe or via videoconference, rather than requiring them to be held in the county where the water right at issue is located. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately. The State Engineer is a government official responsible for managing the state's water resources, and this change aims to provide more flexibility in how hearings are conducted.
