History: 1941 Comp., § 51-2803, enacted by Laws 1945, ch. 74, § 3; 1953 Comp., § 67-5-19; Laws 1969, ch. 46, § 13; 1978 Comp., § 61-6-24, recompiled as § 61-6-28 by Laws 1989, ch. 269, § 24; 2003, ch. 19, § 24; 2021, ch. 54, § 42.
Repeals. — Laws 1989, ch. 269, § 32 repealed former 61-6-28 NMSA 1978, as amended by Laws 1969, ch. 46, § 16, relating to the penalty for failure to register, effective July 1, 1989. For present comparable provisions, see 61-6-26 NMSA 1978.
The 2021 amendment, effective June 18, 2021, required applicants and licensees to maintain current contact information with the New Mexico medical board; and after "A licensed physician", added "or practitioner under licensure authority of the board or who applies for a license issued by the board", and added the last sentence.
The 2003 amendment, effective June 20, 2003, rewrote this section to the extent that a detailed comparison is impracticable.
The 1989 amendment, effective July 1, 1989, renumbered this section, which formerly was 61-6-24 NMSA 1978, and substituted "triennial renewal" for "annual registration" in both sentences and "the Medical Practice Act" for "Sections 67-5-1 through 67-5-23 NMSA 1978" in the second sentence.
