The Commissioners for the Promotion of Uniformity of Legislation in the United States were appointed by the Governor in 1917 (1917 NM Laws, Chp. 77, Sec. 1-4). In 1967 the law was changed, repealing appointments of commissioners by the Governor, and establishing a Commission for the Promotion of Uniformity of Legislation in the United States, with two commissioners appointed by the Legislative Council and the director of the Legislative Council Service serving ex officio as the third commissioner (1967 NM Laws, Chp. 234, Sec. 1). In 1989 a legislative act expanded the membership of the Commission to include two members of the New Mexico Bar and the dean of the University of New Mexico Law School (1989 NM Laws, Chp. 119, Sec. 1). The duties of the Commission are to examine legislation concerning subjects in which uniform legislation throughout the United States is desirable.
