N.M. Admin. Code § 19.10.15.22 - PARTICIPATION BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE OR SIMILAR DEVICE
A. A commission member may participate in a
meeting or hearing of the commission by means of a conference telephone or
other similar communications equipment, when it is otherwise difficult or
impossible for the member to attend the meeting or hearing in person, provided
that each member participating by conference telephone can be identified when
speaking, all participants are able to hear each other at the same time and
members of the public attending the meeting or hearing are able to hear any
member of the commission who speaks at the meeting or hearing. A commission
member's participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the
meeting or hearing. A commission member who wishes to participate in a
rulemaking hearing in this manner must receive permission from the hearing
officer sufficiently in advance of the rulemaking hearing so as to permit the
commission administrator to arrange for adequate telephone hookup.
B. A witness may participate in a rulemaking
hearing of the commission by means of a telephone conference or other similar
communications equipment when an emergency or circumstances make it impossible
for the witness to attend the hearing in person. A witness who wishes to
participate in a rulemaking hearing in this manner must receive permission from
the hearing officer in advance of the rulemaking hearing. No witness may
participate in a rulemaking hearing by telephone conference unless he or she
makes a request sufficiently in advance of the rulemaking hearing to permit the
commission administrator to arrange for an adequate telephone or electronic
hookup. Each witness participating remotely must be identified when speaking,
all participants must be able to hear each other at the same time and members
of the public attending the hearing must be able to hear any witness who speaks
during the hearing.
