2023 New Mexico Statutes
Chapter 12 - Miscellaneous Public Affairs Matters
Article 10 - All Hazard Emergency Management
Section 12-10-1 - Short title.

Sections 12-10-1 through 12-10-10 NMSA 1978 may be cited as the "All Hazard Emergency Management Act".

History: 1953 Comp., § 9-13-15, enacted by Laws 1959, ch. 190, § 1; 1973, ch. 247, § 1; 2007, ch. 291, § 9.

Compiler's notes. — Following the 1978 recompilation of NMSA the scope of the State Civil Emergency Preparedness Act, as defined in this section, read "Sections 12-10-1 through 12-10-10 NMSA 1978".

Laws 2002, ch. 83, §§ 2 to 4 purported to enact three new sections of the Uniform Licensing Act in Chapter 61. These sections were reassigned to appear as 12-10-11, 12-10-12 and 12-10-13 NMSA 1978 for more logical placement. Sections 12-10-11, 12-10-12 and 12-10-13 NMSA 1978 are not part of the State Civil Emergency Preparedness Act.

Laws 2007, ch. 291, § 9 changed the name of the State Civil Emergency Preparedness Act to the All Hazard Emergency Management Act, effective July 1, 2007.

The 2007 amendment, effective July 1, 2007, changed the statutory reference and title of the act from the "State Civil Emergency Preparedness Act" to the "All Hazard Emergency Management Act".
