SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



Senate Joint Memorial 72 requests the Public Regulation Commission (PRC) to investigate the parity in advertising rates throughout New Mexico and deliver a report to the appropriate legislative committee by November 2000. Specifically, the study should address the impact of these rates on small businesses, the state's economy and consumer purchasing power.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



Senate Joint Memorial 72 does not contain an appropriation and would not have a fiscal impact on the PRC.
