N.M. Stat. § 58-10-90
All businesses to conform.
Any association or corporation authorized to conduct a building and loan
association, savings and loan association, building society or other similar business
under prior law, by whatever name known, which has substantially the same purpose as
an association, upon the effective date of the Savings and Loan Act, is subject to the
provisions of the Savings and Loan Act unless otherwise expressly exempted, and shall
thereafter be deemed to exist by virtue of the Savings and Loan Act. The name, rights,
powers, privileges and immunities of each such association or corporation shall be
governed, controlled, construed, extended, limited and determined by the provisions of
the Savings and Loan Act as if the corporation had been incorporated pursuant thereto,
and the articles of association, certificate of incorporation or charter, however entitled,
bylaws and constitutions or other rules of every corporation are amended to conform
with the provisions of the Savings and Loan Act, with or without the issuance or
approval by the supervisor of conformed copies of the documents, and the same are
void to the extent that they are inconsistent with the provisions of the Savings and Loan
Act except that obligations or any valid contract existing at the effective date of the
Savings and Loan Act is not impaired by the provisions of the Savings and Loan Act
and no association shall be required to change its name.
