Repeals. — Laws 1986, ch. 22, § 102 repeals former 52-1-32 through 52-1-35 NMSA 1978, relating to procedures in making claims for workmen's compensation benefits, effective May 21, 1986. For present comparable provisions, see 52-5-5 NMSA 1978 et seq. Repeal, as to question of district court jurisdiction, unconstitutional. — To the extent that repeal of 52-1-32 to 52-1-35 NMSA 1978 by Laws 1986, ch. 22, § 102 deprives a claimant of a forum between May 21 and December 1, 1986 for resolution of a legislatively-created right, that portion of § 102 is unconstitutional, when applied to the very narrow question of jurisdiction over a claimant who has filed or will file a claim in district court prior to December 1, 1986.
