Recent Changes

Please note: Whenever the New Mexico Board of Pharmacy changes a rule, a period of time will pass before the rule is posted. This is because several things must happen:

  1. The rule must first be prepared by the board secretary.
  2. After the rule is prepared, the format must be approved in Santa Fe.
  3. When approved, the rule is submitted to be published in the New Mexico Register. The Register is published twice a month, with submittal deadlines of 12 days prior to publication date.
  4. In total, it may take up to three months or so for the rule to be published in the official record with the State Records Center, and become effective. We link directly to the State Records Center.
