N.M. Admin. Code § 7.32.6.8
The 1993 New Mexico legislature enacted Laws 1993, Chapter 65 (SB 341, etc., as amended) to address DWI issues in the state. The law increases the rate of the liquor excise tax to provide for state and local programs for the prevention, screening, assessment, treatment and other alternative sentencing services relating to DWI. A portion of the law creates the local DWI grant program, providing for county and municipal funding. Counties must establish a planning council which must adopt a county DWI plan; municipal activities can be submitted only as part of the official county DWI plan. With the advice of the planning council, the board or its designee shall prepare the county DWI plan. Upon approval of the county DWI plan by the board and the planning council, the board shall submit the county DWI plan to the department for approval and integration into the statewide substance abuse prevention and treatment services plan.
