ANNOTATIONSCompiler's notes. — For the meaning of "this act", see compiler's notes to 73-14-1 NMSA 1978.
Conflict of interest. — Because no statute defines the duties of a member of a board of directors of a conservancy district when a conflict of interest arises, the common law prevails. At common law, a member of a governing board is disqualified from voting on a matter in which he has a direct personal, financial interest, and a court will invalidate any board action in violation of this rule. 1988 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 88-18.
