Committee commentary. - The language of Rule 11-805 NMRA was amended in 2012 to be consistent with the restyling of the Federal Rules of Evidence, effective December 1, 2011, to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on admissibility.

[Adopted by Supreme Court Order No. 12-8300-015, effective for all cases pending or filed on or after June 16, 2012.]

ANNOTATIONS The 2012 amendment, approved by Supreme Court Order No. 12-8300-015, effective for all cases pending or filed on or after June 16, 2012, rewrote the rule to make stylistic changes. Compiler's notes. - This rule is similar to Rule 805 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. For proper usage of hearsay in proceeding to revoke probation, a court looks to the law not involving these rules. State v. Vigil, 1982-NMCA-058, 97 N.M. 749, 643 P.2d 618 (Ct. App. 1982).
