History: Laws 1990, ch. 99, § 22; 1993, ch. 172, § 1. ANNOTATIONSThe 1993 amendment, effective June 18, 1993, changed the style of the statutory reference in the first sentence and substituted "the governing body of any county, municipality, Indian tribe or pueblo when the boundary of the territory of the county, municipality, Indian tribe or pueblo is" for "all municipalities and counties" in Subsection B. -. Failure to give proper notice. — Form of publication employed by the landfill did not substantially fulfill the statutory requirement of a single publication in which the notice appeared in both the legal/classified section and one other place calculated to give the general public the most effective notice; therefore, the administrative proceedings conducted subsequent to the landfill's defective notice were invalid. Martinez v. Maggiore, 2003-NMCA-043, 133 N.M. 472, 64 P.3d 499. Standing. — Residents were proper persons to raise the landfill's failure to publish notice as required by Subsection C. Martinez v. Maggiore, 2003-NMCA-043, 133 N.M. 472, 64 P.3d 499.
