New Mexico's governor has signed an executive order directing the Regulation and Licensing department and the Economic Development Department to conduct a comprehensive review of the state's rules and regulations, with the goal of a more streamlined and business-friendly licensing process. The review will specifically look at licensure requirements that may disproportionately affect and burden underserved communities. One specific complaint to be addresses is the long timeline to approve construction-related permits. The regulatory review is part of a larger economic planning effort.
