The bill amends several sections of the New Mexico Statutes to extend the sunset dates for various professional boards and commissions. Specifically, it establishes that the board of nursing home administrators, the board of barbers and cosmetologists, the board of landscape architects, the coal surface mining commission, and the water quality control commission will all be terminated on July 1, 2035, as per the Sunset Act. However, these boards and commissions will continue to operate under their respective acts until July 1, 2036, after which specific sections of the statutes governing them will be repealed.

The amendments include provisions that ensure the continued operation of these boards and commissions until the specified date, allowing for a transition period before their eventual repeal. The legal language in the bill specifies the termination dates and the continuation of operations, thereby providing clarity on the future of these regulatory bodies in New Mexico.
