N.M. Stat. § 63-9D-4
Provision for enhanced 911 services by local governing
bodies; enhanced 911 system costs; payment of costs; joint
powers agreements; aid outside jurisdictional boundaries.
A. A local governing body or a consortium of local governing bodies may incur costs
for the purchase, lease, installation or maintenance of enhanced 911 equipment and
training necessary for the establishment of an enhanced 911 system and may pay such
costs through disbursements from the fund; provided that the local governing body has
employed properly trained staff in its public safety answering point pursuant to the
Public Safety Telecommunicator Training Act [29-7C-1 to 29-7C-9 NMSA 1978].
B. If the enhanced 911 system is to be provided for territory that is included in whole
or in part in the jurisdiction of the local governing bodies of two or more public agencies
that are the primary providers of emergency firefighting, law enforcement, ambulance,
emergency medical or other emergency services, the agreement for the procurement of
the enhanced 911 system shall be entered into by the fiscal agent designated by the
local governing bodies. A local governing body may expressly exclude itself from the
agreement. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent two or more local
governing bodies from entering into a joint powers agreement pursuant to the Joint
Powers Agreements Act [11-1-1 to 11-1-7 NMSA 1978] to establish a separate legal
entity that can enter into an agreement as the enhanced 911 system customer.
C. A public agency in an enhanced 911 service area shall provide that, once an
emergency unit is dispatched in response to a request for aid through the enhanced 911
system, the emergency unit shall render services to the requester without regard to
whether the unit is operating outside its normal jurisdictional boundaries.
D. A local governing body in an enhanced 911 service area shall provide GIS
addressing and digital mapping data to the public safety answering point that provides
the enhanced 911 service to the local governing body.
