New Mexico Supreme Court

Princeton Place v. N.M. Hum. Servs. Dep't

November 15, 2021503 P.3d 319

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the Department of Health’s PASARR screening form and instructions are merely interpretive guidance not requiring rulemaking, and that the Human Services Department’s interpretation of “related condition” to include spina bifida is reasonable, thereby permitting the recoupment action.
