Chapter 4, Article 48A NMSA 1978 may be cited as the "Special Hospital District Act". History: 1978 Comp., § 4-48A-1, enacted by Laws 1978, ch. 29, § 1; 1992, ch. 41, § 1. ANNOTATIONSThe 1992 amendment, effective May 20, 1992, substituted "Chapter 4, Article 48A NMSA 1978" for "This act". Constitutionality. — The Special Hospital District Act is not invalid because it contains no mechanism by which a property owner whose property is not directly benefited by inclusion within the special hospital district can request an independent tribunal to remove the land from the proposed district. The absence of any special benefit to a particular piece of property is not a sufficient ground for excluding the property from a district whose purpose is to promote the general welfare. If evidence establishing absence of a special benefit does not require exclusion, no forum to hear such evidence is required. State ex rel. Angel Fire Home & Land Owners Ass'n, Inc. v. South Cent. Colfax Cnty. Special Hosp. Dist., 1990-NMCA-072, 110 N.M. 496, 797 P.2d 285, cert. denied, 110 N.M. 330, 795 P.2d 1022. There appears to be no constitutional prohibition against including property within a special hospital district even though the property and its inhabitants will not benefit from inclusion. Thus, the Special Hospital District Act is not unconstitutional on its face solely because the tax-benefit ratio for certain property owners may differ from that of others within a special hospital district. State ex rel. Angel Fire Home & Land Owners Ass'n, Inc. v. South Cent. Colfax Cnty. Special Hosp. Dist., 1990-NMCA-072, 110 N.M. 496, 797 P.2d 285, cert. denied, 110 N.M. 330, 795 P.2d 1022. Proposed residential care unit would not be "hospital facility". — Proposed residential care unit, which probably would not have a professional staff or provide medical services but would offer room, board and other nonmedical assistance to those who qualify, would not be a "hospital facility" qualified to receive district funds under the Special Hospital District Act. 1989 Op.

2021 New Mexico Statutes|Chapter 4 - Counties|Article 48A - Special Hospital Districts|Section 4-48A-2 - Definitions.

As used in the Special Hospital District Act: A. "board of trustees" means the governing board of the special hospital district; B. "qualified elector" means a natural person resident in a proposed or existing special hospital district who is registered to vote in state general elections; C. "special hospital district" means a district wherein a public hospital is located or is proposed to be created and which: (1) is composed of contiguous and compact territory lying wholly within a single county; or (2) is composed of contiguous and compact territory which includes all or a portion of two or more counties or any combination thereof; and (3) contains within its boundaries one or more incorporated municipalities; or whose boundaries coincide and are concurrent with the territorial areas of one or more political subdivisions within such county or counties; D. "hospital facility" includes a medical facility or an outpatient clinic or both; and E. "subdistrict" means, in the case of a special hospital district composed of all or a portion of two or more counties, the portion of the special hospital district which is located in one county. History: 1978 Comp., § 4-48A-2, enacted by Laws 1978, ch. 29, § 2; 1979, ch. 134, § 1; 1981, ch. 84, § 1; 1987, ch. 273, § 1. ANNOTATIONSConstitutionality. — The provisions of Subsection C(3) are not irrational for a legislature to impose. Although these provisions bear no relation to the specific purpose of a special hospital district - the creation and maintenance of hospitals - they do have a rational relationship to the establishment of a new local governmental body. State ex rel. Angel Fire Home & Land Owners Ass'n, Inc. v. South Cent. Colfax Cnty. Special Hosp. Dist., 1990-NMCA-072, 110 N.M. 496, 797 P.2d 285, cert. denied, 110 N.M. 330, 795 P.2d 1022.

A. There may be created special hospital districts within any county of this state for the purpose of constructing, acquiring, operating and maintaining one or more public hospital facilities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the district. B. All counties shall have the power to enter into agreements with one or more other counties to create special hospital districts composed of all or a portion of each county which is a party to the agreement, but no district so created shall include within its territory any territory already included in another special hospital district. In any case, no county shall include the same territory in more than one special hospital district. Such agreement shall provide for generation of funds necessary for establishment and operation of a public hospital facility and for a plan of dissolution. Plans for the dissolution of the special hospital district must provide for the payment of all district debts and liabilities and for the distributing of all remaining assets to the county or counties in which the special hospital district lies. C. A county may enter into an agreement with the board of trustees of an existing special hospital district to permit all or a portion of the county to become a subdistrict of the special hospital district, after certification of a petition and election as required in Sections 4-48A-4 and 4-48A-5 NMSA 1978. A member of the board of trustees shall be elected from the new subdistrict in the manner provided by law and shall be added to the board of trustees until the next regularly scheduled election, at which time a board member shall be elected as provided in Section 4-48A-6 NMSA 1978.
