Compiler's notes. — The State Budgets Act, referred to in the last sentence, apparently means those provisions found in Article 3 of Chapter 6 NMSA 1978.
The 1987 amendment, effective July 1, 1987, substituted "energy, minerals and natural resources" for "energy and minerals" in the first sentence, at the end of the second sentence, substituted "federal energy regulatory commission" for "federal power commission", and made minor changes in language throughout the section.
