Compiler's notes. — Sections 62-13-1 to 62-13-14 of the Public Utility Act are still effective as the repeal of Chapter 62, Article 13 by Laws 1998, Chapter 108, Section 82, effective July 1, 2003 Chapter 108, Section 82 was repealed prior to taking effect by Chapter 23, Section 1, Laws 2003. Although Laws 2003, Chapter 336, Section 8, amended Laws 1998, Chapter 82, as amended, an amendment of a repealed section is ineffective. See Quintana v. N.M. Dep't of Corrs., 100 N.M. 224, 668 P.2d 1101 (1983). Laws 2003, Chapter 416, Section 5 also repealed Laws 1998, Chapter 108, Section 82, as amended, a second time, however, that repeal is of no effect as the section had previously been repealed by Chapter 23, Section 1, Laws 2003.
The 1993 amendment, effective June 18, 1993, in the introductory language, deleted "New Mexico public service" preceding "commission" and made stylistic changes; added the subsection designations; and added "; and" at the end of Subsection C.
Fee payable for each schedule, not each instrument. — The fee provided for is payable for each rate schedule filed even though all schedules filed under rules of the commission may be included in one instrument. 1941 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 41-3939 (rendered under former statute).
