The Division recently sponsored rulewriting training sessions among most state agencies. Since that training, we have returned several rule filings as incomplete and received the response, “but that is how we were told to do it!” Our most humble apologies.
When you file a rule affecting just one section, you must include the following for the rule to be correctly formatted:
At the beginning of the rule text, include the title catchline, the rule catchline, and the section catchline — for example:
R15. Administrative Services, Administrative Rules.
R15-4. Administrative Rulemaking Procedures.
R15-4-3. Publication Dates and Deadlines.
Include the complete text for the section affected. Single or selected paragraphs of the entire section will be returned for correction.
At the end of the rule text, include key words, date of enactment or last substantive amendment, and statutory citations, for example:
KEY: administrative law
Date of Enactment or Last Substantive Amendment: July 1, 1998
Notice of Continuation: September 29, 2005
Authorizing, and Implemented or Interpreted Law: 63-46a-10
