The Public Regulation Commission voted not to issue a ruling on San Francisco-based Lyft's request to function in the New Mexico — at least until new legislation is passed — amid confusion over current state laws. Last year, the commission ordered Lyft to cease operations in Albuquerque, where the company had launched its service. But a district judge in Santa Fe refused to enforce the commission's cease-and-desist order, allowing the company to operate in the state capital. Lyft and Uber use smartphone programs to connect people seeking rides with people who have cars.
