House Memorial 54 requests the Public Regulation Commission to establish a working group aimed at developing recommendations for a regulatory and statutory framework that ensures reliable and consistent access to utilities for tenants living in mobile home parks in New Mexico. The bill highlights the significant number of mobile homes in the state, many of which are situated in mobile home parks where tenants often face challenges related to utility access. It emphasizes the need for improved oversight and regulation due to the varying regulatory schemes governing different utilities that serve these parks.

The proposed working group would consist of a diverse array of stakeholders, including representatives from the Public Regulation Commission, the superintendent of regulation and licensing, the attorney general, associations representing both mobile home park owners and tenants, a municipal utility representative, and an advocate for low-income individuals. The group is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations to the relevant interim legislative committees by November 1, 2026. Additionally, copies of the memorial will be sent to key officials, including the superintendent of regulation and licensing, the chair of the Public Regulation Commission, and the attorney general.
