The state personnel office shall not spend any of its appropriation for the promulgating or filing of rules, policies or plans which have significant financial impact or which would require significant future appropriations to maintain without prior, specific legislative approval.
History: 1953 Comp., § 5-4-31.3, enacted by Laws 1976, ch. 11, § 1; 1980, ch. 6, § 1; 1984, ch. 7, § 1.
Rules consistent with section. — Rules of labor-management relations fully protected the legislature's appropriations power since they expressly prohibited any violation of Section 10-9-7 NMSA 1978, and since collective bargaining agreements entered into could only commit funds for purposes for which they had been appropriated, there would be "prior, specific legislative approval". Local 2238 of AFSCME v. Stratton, 1989-NMSC-003, 108 N.M. 163, 769 P.2d 76.
1983 rules violative of section. — The current rules for labor-management relations promulgated by the personnel board in 1983 were promulgated in violation of this section, since the rules contain numerous provisions that have, or are likely to have, a significant financial impact and since no specific, prior legislative approval was given for the promulgation. 1987 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 87-41.
