County and municipal officials exceeded their authority by enacting abortion-related ordinances preempted by state law. — Where several counties and municipalities (respondents) enacted local ordinances prohibiting the mailing or receipt of any abortion-related instrumentality and creating licensing schemes exclusive to abortion clinics and providers, and where the state of New Mexico sought a writ of mandamus and stay of respondents enforcement of the ordinances and to invalidate the ordinances as preempted by state law, the writ of mandamus was granted because the ordinances plainly conflicted with the provisions of the Medical Practice Act, which vests the medical board with exclusive licensing and disciplinary authority for a physician's practice of medicine. The pervasive regulatory scheme under the Medical Practice Act demonstrates the legislature's intent to occupy the field of medical licensure specifically, and state professional licensure generally. State ex rel. Torrez v. Bd. of Cnty. Comm'rs for Lea Cnty., 2025-NMSC-011.
Governor's power not usurped. — Requirement that the governor appoint to the board of medical examiner's nominees who were submitted by the New Mexico medical society, where only the governor has this prerogative, would not unconstitutionally usurp the governor's power.

Seidenberg v. N.M. Bd. of Med. Exam'rs, 1969-NMSC-028, 80 N.M. 135, 452 P.2d 469.
Corporation to perform medical services. — Because the legislature chose to expressly prohibit the corporate practice, apart from professional corporations, in the case of dentists and podiatrists, and chose to expressly permit, with limitation, other forms of corporate practice in the case of psychologists and engineers, it may be inferred from the legislature's silence in the case of medical doctors that a corporation may be formed to provide medical services. 1987 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 87-39.
A corporation, organized and controlled by non-physicians, may provide medical services to the general public through employed physicians, unless prohibited by statute or unless it exercises lay control of medical judgment or engages in lay exploitation of the medical profession in a manner prohibited by public policy. 1987 Op.
