Key Takeaways
The New Mexico Supreme Court rejected a challenge to an executive order that closed indoor dining at restaurants and breweries in response to COVID-19.
The court concluded that the order did not disrupt the balance of powers because “New Mexico has not entered a ‘new normal.’”
The court has, perhaps inadvertently, potentially initiated a dramatic shift in state administrative law.
SUPREME COURT NEWS
The governor and Department of Health have legislatively granted authority to restrict or close businesses through an emergency public health order rather than imposing such restrictions through a rulemaking process, the state Supreme Court concluded in an opinion issued today.
The Court’s unanimous written opinion provides the detailed legal reasoning for an oral decision issued from the bench in August that upheld a ban on indoor dining the state had imposed a month earlier because of the increasing spread of COVID-19.
A group of businesses challenged the restrictions in a lawsuit brought in district court in Carlsbad, prompting Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to petition the state’s highest court to resolve the dispute. After the Supreme Court agreed to consider the case, the state Republican Party, House and Senate GOP leaders and Eddy County were allowed to submit written legal arguments against the business restrictions.
