(A) As histories for the code sections, the specific number of the original ordinance, and the most recent three amending ordinances, if any, are listed following the text of the code section. Example: (Ord. 40-1975; Am. Ord. 22-1990; Am. Ord. 69-1992; Am. Ord. 3-1993)
(B) (1) If a statutory cite is included in the history, this indicates that the text of the section reads substantially the same as the statute. Example: (Section 3-8-9, NMSA 1978) (Ord. 40-1975; Am. Ord. 22-1990)
(2) If a statutory cite is set forth as a "statutory reference" following the text of the section, this indicates that the reader should refer to that statute for further information. Example:
§ 2-4-3 MUNICIPAL ELECTION CODE.
The Municipal Election Code, Chapter 3, Articles 8 and 9, NMSA 1978, as amended and as supplemented from time to time, shall govern the conduct of all aspects of all municipal elections, except when the Municipal Election Code is silent on a matter, then the State Election Code, Chapter 1, NMSA 1978, shall govern, as appropriate; however, if any provision of either the Municipal Election Code or the State Election Code is inconsistent with the terms of the City Charter, the Charter shall control, or inconsistent with the terms of this chapter, this chapter shall take precedence over the Municipal Election Code and State Election Code and shall control.
