New Mexico's Construction Industries Division (CID), within the Regulation and Licensing Department, licenses plumbing and mechanical contractors (MM-98, MM-2) and journeymen (MM-98J, JB-1) under NMSA 60-13 and 14.5.1 / 14.8 NMAC. Licenses renew annually. Licensees must complete continuing-education hours each renewal under 14.5.1 NMAC, including plumbing-code update instruction based on the Uniform Plumbing Code edition currently adopted by New Mexico. The exact hour count is set by CID rule. Only CID-approved providers and courses count. Verify the current hour requirement, approved providers, and plumbing-code edition on the CID Continuing Education page (https://www.rld.nm.gov/construction-industries/continuing-education/) before each renewal.
