ANNOTATIONSCompiler's notes. — Sections 32A-17-1 to 32A-17-6 NMSA 1978 were originally enacted as 32-17-1 to 32-17-6 NMSA 1978 by Laws 1993, ch. 77, §§ 218 to 223, and were subsequently recompiled at this location in 1993 in order to retain a historical link between the pre-July 1, 1993 law and the judicial precedents decided under that law. Citations to decisions under prior law have been retained whenever possible. The short title of the Family Preservation Act was changed in 2005 to the Family Support Act. A new Family Preservation Act was enacted by Laws 2005, ch. 68 and compiled as Sections 40-15-1 through 40-15-4 NMSA 1978. The 2005 amendment, effective June 17, 2005, changed the name of the act.
