Description
Petitioner, James Bird, was appointed State Highway Engineer by the State Highway Commission pursuant to § 55-2-1.6, N.M.S.A. (Supp.1975). Governor Apodaca, respondent herein, sought to transfer petitioner from the Highway Department to the State Parks and Recreation Commission under a statutory provision, § 5-4-3, N.M.S.A. 1953, which allows such transfers "as in his judgment may be necessary or convenient at any time to further the economical and efficient conduct of the state government..." The temporary transfer would terminate on March 31, 1978. On that date the Highway Department Organization Act takes effect and requires the consent of the Governor for the appointment of "Chief Highway Administrator," the equivalent to the current State Highway Engineer. Section 55-2-15, N.M.S.A. 1953 (Interim Supp. -- New Mexico Executive Reorganization Laws 1977).
