Legislature Passes Think New Mexico's Entire PRC Reform Legislative! The bipartisan package of three constitutional amendments introduced to implement Think New Mexico's Public Regulation Commission reforms has passed the House unanimously, and the Senate on votes of 40-0, 38-2, and 39-2! The people of New Mexico will now have an opportunity to vote on these reforms in the 2012 election. Thank your legislators for supporting: HJR 11, which will increase the qualifications for PRC commissioners; HJR 16, which will transfer the PRC's authority over the reporting and registration of corporations to a one-stop shop for business registrations and filings at the Secretary of State's office; and HJR 17, which will remove the PRC's authority over insurance and reforms how Superintendents of Insurance are selected.
