Bracketed material. — The bracketed material was inserted by the compiler and is not part of the law. The name of the board of supervisors of the New Mexico state police was changed by Laws 1941, ch. 147, § 24 (compiled as 39-2-24, 1953 Comp.), to the board of supervisors of the division of courtesy and information. Laws 1977, ch. 257, § 107, repealed 39-2-24, 1953 Comp. Under former 29-2-2 NMSA 1978, the New Mexico state police board appeared to exercise the powers and functions of the former board of supervisors. Section 29-2-2 NMSA 1978 was repealed by Laws 1984, ch. 254, § 27. Pursuant to 29-2-1.1 NMSA 1978, "New Mexico state police board" or "board" now means the secretary of public safety.
