Compiler's notes. — The phrase "effective date of the State Rules Act", used three times in this section, means April 14, 1967, the effective date of Laws 1967, Chapter 275.
The 1991 amendment, effective June 14, 1991, added the section heading; designated the formerly undesignated provisions as Subsections A to C; deleted the former last sentence of the section which read: "The librarian of the supreme court shall not be required to retain more than the original or one copy thereof"; added Subsection D; and made minor stylistic changes throughout the section.
Interstate agreement not contemplated within this act. — Despite the broad language in this section regarding "[a]ll pamphlets, reports, proclamations or similar instruments," an interstate agreement contract is not contemplated within the State Rules Act. State v. Ellis, 1980-NMCA-187, 95 N.M. 427, 622 P.2d 1047.
Interstate contract is not instrument similar to rules, reports and notices issued by state agencies. State v. Ellis, 1980-NMCA-187, 95 N.M. 427, 622 P.2d 1047.
