New Mexico § 66-8-137.4 - Bilateral agreements; noncompact jurisdictions; authority

§ 66-8-137.4. Bilateral agreements; noncompact jurisdictions; authority

A. In addition to the Nonresident Violator Compact, it is the intent of the legislature

that bilateral agreements be made with noncompact states; in particular, with those

neighboring states which provide much of the traffic on New Mexico's highways and

have not yet joined with the compact states. The purpose of such bilateral agreement is to accomplish the same reciprocal services

and procedures that are provided in the Nonresident Violator Compact. If, in the judgment of the secretary of taxation and revenue of New Mexico, a bilateral

agreement is in the best interest of the citizens of New Mexico, is fair and equitable

and provides comparable benefits, privileges and exemptions to each state, the secretary

is authorized to pledge New Mexico to the bilateral agreement and is signatory for

this state. B. It is the intent of the legislature that bilateral agreements be made with Indian

tribes and pueblos. The purpose of such bilateral agreements is to provide for the administrative adjudication

of motor vehicle offenses committed by Indians on Indian land.
