New Mexico Statutes Chapter 3. Municipalities § 3-59-3. Legislative intent

It is the intent of the legislature by the passage of the Pollution Control Revenue Bond Act to authorize municipalities to acquire, own, lease or sell projects for the purpose of reducing, abating or preventing pollution, including, but not limited to, removing pollutants, contaminants or foreign substances from land, air or water, or removing or treating any substance in a processed material which otherwise would cause pollution when such material is used, to protect and promote the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of this state and its habitat and wildlife, with the resultant higher level of employment and economic activity and stability.  It is not intended hereby to authorize any municipality itself to operate any manufacturing, industrial or commercial enterprise.  The provisions of the Pollution Control Revenue Bond Act shall be liberally construed in conformity with this intent.

On application filed with the court before the expiration of a 20-day ex parte protective order issued under AS 13.26.450, the court shall schedule a hearing on whether to convert the protective order to a temporary order effective for up to six months. The court shall provide to the protected person and the respondent at least 10 days' notice of the hearing and the respondent's right to appear and be heard. If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the respondent has committed fraud against the petitioner or the person for whose benefit the petition was filed, regardless of whether the respondent appears at the hearing, the court may convert the ex parte protective order to a temporary protective order effective for up to six months.
