At the 07/14/2009 meeting of the Administrative Rules Review Committee, legislative staff presented a list of legislation that passed during the 2009 General Session that provides “additional rulemaking grants to state agencies.” This list identifies 60 bills.
Under the provisions of Subsection 63G-3-301(13), when a bill passes that explicitly mandates rulemaking, the affected agency is required to initiate rulemaking within 180-days of the bill’s effective date. In other words:
- For bills effective 05/12/2009, corresponding rules must be filed with the Division of Administrative Rules by 11/08/2009.
- For bills effective 07/01/2009, corresponding rules must be filed with the Division of Administrative Rules by 12/28/2009.
If an agency is unable to make the deadline set in Subsection 63G-3-301(13), the agency needs to contact Mr. Art Hunsaker, in the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel at 801-538-1032, to schedule a meeting to discuss the delay with the Administrative Rules Review Committee. Agencies may also contact Mr. Hunsaker if they have questions about the bills that appear on the list (included below).
Questions about the provisions of Subsection 63G-3-301(13) may be directed to Ken Hansen at 801-538-3777.
