Open Meetings (OMA) or Inspection of Public Records (IPRA) Complaint

New Mexico’s “Sunshine Laws,” the Open Meetings Act (OMA) and Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA), help to ensure the business of government is open to the public. After complaints are received, each party is contacted, facts are gathered and a determination whether a violation has been committed is made. If a violation has been determined, the Open Meetings Act and the Inspection of Public Records Act provide for enforcement by the Office of the Attorney General or the District Attorney in their respective jurisdictions. These laws also provide that a private citizen may bring a civil lawsuit against the offending public body.
