Section 1.13.2.3 - STATUTORY AUTHORITY

Statutory authority for 1.13.2 NMAC is found in Chapter 14, Article 3, NMSA 1978. Specifically, Section 14-3-6 NMSA 1978 authorizes the state records administrator to adopt regulations. Section 14-3-15.1 NMSA 1978 provides for the payment of reasonable fees for the service of providing information contained in information databases by the agency that inserted the information. It further mandates the assessment of a fee by the agency providing access or use where information contained in a database is "searched, manipulated, or retrieved or a copy of the database is made for any private nonpublic use." The section also authorizes the imposition of certain conditions on the use of such information or databases. Section 14-3-8.1 creates the records center revolving fund, in which money from the sale of "publications, services, equipment, supplies and materials" is deposited. Section 14-3-19 NMSA 1978 allows the state commission of public records to sell certain items and services at a cost plus five percent handling charge. All receipts from such sales go into the records center revolving fund.
