Operative words

The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) adopted a second emergency amendment to state workplace safety laws that requires employers to report positive COVID-19 cases among employees to NMED within four hours of being notified of the case. This second emergency amendment is necessary as the original emergency amendment expired before a permanent amendment [could be adopted].... Violations of the reporting requirement may result in NMED enforcement action.

Enforcement

NMED enforcement action under NMSA 1978 § 50-9-10
