Opinion No. 37-1548

March 5, 1937

BY: FRANK H. PATTON, Attorney General

TO: Mr. R. K. Odell House of Representatives Santa Fe, New Mexico

{*57} In answer to your letter of March 5th wish to advise that I have convinced myself that a member of a county board of education is a civil officer and this being true, a member of the Legislature, under the Constitution, may not be appointed during his term of office.

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
