NM Supreme Court rules state can impose fines, other punishments for businesses who violate state health orders
The New Mexico Supreme Court decided Tuesday that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office has the power to implement fines against businesses that do not follow the state’s emergency health orders. “The court has concluded that the Legislature has clearly given the governor that authority,” New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Vigil said. Vigil added that the court will issue a written opinion “as quickly as [the court] can get it out.” The state’s high court heard oral arguments Tuesday morning from the governor’s attorney Matthew Garcia and from Carter Harrison IV, who argued on behalf of about a dozen businesses and business owners. The state supreme court case started as an eastern New Mexico state court case where the group of business owners asked a judge to stop the state from imposing fines for not following public health orders. Garcia argued that under the state’s Public Health Emergency Response Act (PHERA), the governor has the power to implement fines or other punishments during a public health emergency and that the Legislature knowingly gave that power to the executive branch. “The closure of businesses, and the regulation of gatherings is expressly provided for by the Public Health Act,” Garcia said.
