14-4-5. Filing and compliance required for validity.

No rule shall be valid or enforceable until it is filed with the records center and published in the New Mexico register as provided by the State Rules Act [Chapter 14, Article 4 NMSA 1978].  Unless a later date is otherwise provided by law, the effective date of a rule shall be the date of publication in the New Mexico register. Emergency regulations may go into effect immediately upon filing with the records center, but shall be effective no more than thirty days unless they are published in the New Mexico register.
