Parties may seek judicial review of final Commission decisions by petitioning a district court for a writ of certiorari under Rule 1-075 NMRA. The Commission’s jurisdiction over administrative complaints takes effect on January 1, 2020. At present, the Commission has yet to publish a written final decision.
