The bill amends various sections of New Mexico law to extend the termination dates of several professional boards and commissions. Specifically, the boards of nursing home administrators, barbers and cosmetologists, landscape architects, coal surface mining, and the water quality control commission will now be terminated on July 1, 2031, instead of the previously set date of July 1, 2025. Each board or commission will continue to operate under their respective acts until July 1, 2032, at which point the relevant sections of law will be repealed.

The amendments include the insertion of new termination dates and the deletion of the old dates across multiple sections of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA). This legislative change aims to provide these boards and commissions with additional time to function and fulfill their regulatory responsibilities before their eventual repeal.
