Compiler's notes. — Laws 2003, ch. 143, § 3 would have repealed Article 1 of Chapter 22 NMSA 1978 effective July 1, 2004. The repeal of this article of Chapter 22 was contingent upon the adoption of an amendment to Article 12, Section 6 of the constitution, which was approved at a special election held September 23, 2003. However, the repeal of Article 1 did not take effect, as prior to the July 1, 2004 effective date of the repeal of this article, Laws 2004, ch. 27, § 29, effective May 19, 2004, repealed Laws 2003, ch. 143, § 3.
The 2003 amendment, effective April 4, 2003, substituted "22 NMSA 1978" for "77 NMSA 1953" following "Chapter" at the beginning of the section.
