Out of the 481 bills and resolutions passed during the 2010 General Session, 333 bills take effect today, 05/11/2010. Many of those bills contain mandates requiring various state agencies to promulgate administrative rules. Pursuant to Subsection 63G-3-301(13), agencies have until 11/07/2010 to initiate rulemaking (i.e., filing the rule with the Division of Administrative Rules) to implement those mandates.
If an agency is unable to make the 11/07/2010 filing deadline, statute requires that “the state agency shall appear before the legislative Administrative Rules Review Committee and provide the reasons for the delay.” Agencies may contact Mr. Art Hunsaker, Research Analyst assigned to the Legislature’s Administrative Rules Review Committee, at 801-538-1032.
