New Mexico Register / Volume XXXV, Issue 14 / July 30, 2024

NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF RULEMAKING

The Office of Superintendent of Insurance (OSI) is providing notice to terminate the rulemaking for the repeal and replace of 13.19.4 NMAC Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWAs). The Superintendent has reviewed the record in this matter and has determined that due to the passage of legislation that will change the nature of the regulation of MEWAs in New Mexico, and that these changes were not noticed in the original NOPR or the Supplemental NOPR, there is no way to reconcile the proposed rule as a final rule at this time. Therefore, pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 14-4-5(C), the rulemaking noticed on August 23, 2022, and on September 12, 2022 is hereby terminated and shall be promulgated at a later date.
