Sections 49-1-1 through 49-1-18 NMSA 1978 shall not be construed as applying to any land grant-merced that is managed or controlled in any manner other than that provided in Section 49-1-2 NMSA 1978.

Saving clauses. — Laws 1907, ch. 42, § 18, provided that election of a board of trustees should not in any manner affect any actions, suits or proceedings at law or equity pending March 18, 1907, in any way affecting such land grant or the title thereto.
Compiler's notes. — Prior to the 1915 Code compilation, this section read: "All acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, and this act shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage, but, as stated in Section 1 (49-1-1 NMSA 1978) hereof, this act shall not be construed as applying to any land grant which is now managed or controlled in any manner other than that hereinbefore provided, by virtue of any general or special act of any legislative assembly of the territory of New Mexico."
The 2004 amendment, effective July 1, 2004, made minor corrections throughout this section and changed "grant" to "land grant-merced".
