The New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act NMSA 1978, Chapter 14, Article 2 reads: ”Recognizing that a representative government is dependent upon an informed electorate, the intent of the legislature in enacting the Inspection of Public Records Act is to ensure, and it is declared to be the public policy of this state, that all persons are entitled to the greatest possible information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts of public officers and employees. It is the further intent of the Legislature, and it is declared to be the public policy of this state, that to provide persons with such information is an essential function of a representative government and an integral part of the routine duties of public officers and employees.”

Under IPRA, every person has a right to inspect public records of the state, except those records specifically exempted from disclosure by IPRA or other laws.

Any person wishing to inspect public records under the custody of the New Mexico Economic Development Dept. should file a written request to: Kiki Arellano, Human Resources Manager, 505-827-0246 or Kikil.arellano@state.nm.us.
