Environmentalists are accusing state construction regulators of running afoul of the New Mexico Court of Appeals.
The court last week overturned a 2011 decision by the state Construction Industries Commission to revamp green building codes that former Democrat Gov. Bill Richardson's administration promoted as among the most environmentally friendly in the country.
The court said the commission failed to provide reasons for changing the construction standards. The case was ordered back to the commission for reconsideration and a new vote.
The Construction Industries Division says it will continue to enforce the codes until it determines whether to appeal the ruling. A decision is expected at a special meeting next week.
The New Mexico Environmental Law Center is now asking the court to hold the division in contempt for continuing to enforce the codes.
