Section 8.8.2.11 - POLICY AND PROCEDURES DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
A. PSD shall hold a public hearing prior to the inclusion, amendment or repeal of any portion of the New Mexico administrative code in accordance with the State Rules Act.
B. PSD shall file policies with the New Mexico state records center and archives in accordance with the State Rules Act.
C. Emergency rules:
(1) For good cause, PSD may issue rules on an emergency basis without notice or hearing if the secretary determines that the immediate implementation is necessary for public peace, health, safety, or general welfare. An emergency rule is effective for no longer than 30 days unless published in the New Mexico register in accordance with 1.24.20 NMAC. Upon publication in the New Mexico register, emergency rules are converted to regular rules with such duration as stated in the published rule.
(2) Under CYFD's enabling statute, 9-2A-2(E) NMSA, PSD may also engage in "interim rule making," if the CYFD secretary certifies to the department of finance and administration that the CYFD has insufficient state funds to operate any of the programs it administers and that reductions in services or benefit levels are necessary.
D. Maintenance of policies: PSD shall regularly review policies and make revisions as necessary to reflect changes in practice to comply with federal and state laws as well as changes in CYFD standards of practice and funding. PSD shall consider requests for revisions to policies by any individual. Revisions to policies shall be made as provided by statute and regulations.
E. PSD policies are published in the New Mexico administrative code, which is available at http://www.nmcpr.state.nm.us/NMAC under Title 8, Social Services. Copies of policies and procedures are available for public inspection in PSD county offices; reasonable copying charges are assessed for duplication.
