eRules currently only allows an effective date to be set to the same date as the notice of effective date is filed. Emergency rule effective dates are being automatically assigned to the day the draft is created. While we are working on this, please contact us with any concerns.

All eRules filings, including Five-Year Reviews, must be submitted with a completed Rule Analysis Form. Form templates, as well as tutorial videos and other assistance, can be found on our Agency Resources page.



Please notify the Office of Administrative Rules of any changes in rulemaking staff within your agencies. Letting us know ensures that we can continue contacting the right people and efficiently work with filings.
