Senate Bill 240 (2012) has passed. As it related to rulemaking, Section 3 of S.B. 240 removes Subsection 63G-3-305(10) from the Rulemaking Act. Back in 1997, this language provided a grandfather clause that gave the then-newly-created Department of Workforce Services and the Labor Commission extra time to comply with the Rulemaking Act’s five-year review requirements. This language was simply obsolete. It had not been declared unconstitutional, as was represented on the floor during debate.
