ANNOTATIONSBracketed material. — The bracketed material was inserted by the compiler and is not part of the law.
Laws 1998, ch. 108, § 80 provided that references to the state corporation commission be construed as references to the public regulation commission.
Title of enactment. — Since there was nothing in the title of Laws 1939, ch. 199, to intimate in the least that the corporation commission (now public regulation commission) was to be stripped of its power over all aircraft, Laws 1939, ch. 199, § 5, which originally enacted this section, transferring such authority to the former New Mexico aeronautic commission, violated and was in contravention of N.M. Const., art. IV, § 16. 1939 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 39-3258.
