File a Five-Year Review

Agencies are required to review administrative rules every five years. Notices of five-year review and continuation are filed in eRules.

1. After logging in to eRules, select the Rule Filings tab.

5. Select the agency, generally the rulemaking department, under the Agency drop-down menu. After selecting the agency, the Title drop-down menu will populate with applicable titles under that agency. Select the desired title for the rule filing.

6. The Rule drop-down menu will populate with the current rules under the title. Select the rule to which this five-year review applies.

7. Select the proper contact under the Coordinator drop-down menu.

An administrative rules coordinator is a person in the rulemaking agency who can act as a contact between their agency and the Office of Administrative Rules. A coordinator facilitates inquiries and conversations between the two offices.

To add, remove, or change a coordinator in eRules, send an email to [email protected] with the following information:

The name of the coordinator being removed, if applicable
The name of the coordinator being added, if applicable
A current email address for any added coordinators
A current phone number for any added coordinators
A short statement justifying the reason for this change
Approval from the rulemaking agency head

8. While a five-year review cannot change citations, ensure that the existing citations are accurate and formatted correctly in the menu.

9. Since IBRs cannot be modified by a five-year review, leave the Contains IBR box as is.

10. Review the responses within the boxes for accuracy. When ready to file, select Upload File and find the desired filing to upload.

11. Once the filing is uploaded, ensure the Upload File button turns blue and the filename is listed at the bottom of the window, then select Save on the bottom right.

12. The filing will appear as a Five Year Review Draft. Select the + on the left to expand the filing's details.

13. Select Submit to OAR on the right side of the Filing Details menu.

14. Check that the filing has been submitted by making sure that the filing's status is Five Year Review - Under Review. An email will also be sent to users attached to that agency.

After submitting, the Office of Administrative Rules will begin the review process. Emails will be sent out upon approval or rejection throughout the review process, and the Office may contact the rulewriting agency with questions or comments.
