N.M. Stat. § 70-2-23
Hearings on rules, regulations and orders; notice;
emergency rules.
Except as provided for herein, before any rule, regulation or order, including
revocation, change, renewal or extension thereof, shall be made under the provisions of
this act, a public hearing shall be held at such time, place and manner as may be
prescribed by the division. The division shall first give reasonable notice of such hearing
(in no case less than ten days, except in an emergency) and at any such hearing any
person having an interest in the subject matter of the hearing shall be entitled to be
heard. In case an emergency is found to exist by the division which in its judgment
requires the making of a rule, regulation or order without first having a hearing, such
emergency rule, regulation or order shall have the same validity as if a hearing with
respect to the same had been held after due notice. The emergency rule, regulation or
order permitted by this section shall remain in force no longer than fifteen days from its
effective date, and, in any event, it shall expire when the rule, regulation or order made
after due notice and hearing with respect to the subject matter of such emergency rule,
regulation or order becomes effective.
