[Lwvcnmtopics] change in makeup of the NM PRC

[George Richmond]

At this time there are five elected members of the NM Public Regulation 
Commission, but in 2022, there will be three appointed members.

This email below from the PRC provides some color on the process.

There are, in my view, three very competent members of the PRC now.   So 
lets see who the Governor keeps...and who she appoints.

I think that the Election next year for Governor will decide who 
appoints.  At this time the candidates for the two parties are not fully 
known.

Hi George,

Thank you for your inquiry.
*My understanding is that it will actually transition once the Governor 
is sworn in in 2023. The new Commission will be appointed by the 
Governor at that time.*

I hope this helps.

I understand that in 2022, the PRC will become a three member appointed 
commission from its current five member elected commission.

I recall that a change in NM law brought about this change.  If I am 
correct, when does this change take place?  On Jan1 or at some other 
time in the year?

Thank you very much.

George Richmond
