The bill amends several sections of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 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 be terminated on July 1, 2035, as per the Sunset Act. However, each board and commission will continue to operate under their respective acts until July 1, 2036.

Additionally, the bill specifies that effective July 1, 2036, the relevant chapters and sections pertaining to these boards and commissions will be repealed. This includes the repeal of Chapter 61, Article 13 for nursing home administrators, the Barbers and Cosmetologists Act, the Landscape Architects Act, Section 69-25A-4 for the coal surface mining commission, and Sections 74-6-3 through 74-6-4 for the water quality control commission. The amendments ensure that these professional entities have an extended operational period before their eventual dissolution.
