An agency that needs to rules in place by July 1 this year must file those rules with the Division of Administrative Rules by May 1. Rules filed between April 16 and May 1 at 11:59 PM will be published in the May 15 issue of the Utah State Bulletin. The minimum public comment period must run through June 15, with the comment consideration period ending on June 22. The agency can then submit a Notice of Effective Date for a July 1 effective date (provided the Notice is received by July 1).
The filing time frames are posted on the Division’s web site. Questions regarding the filing time frames may be directed to Nancy Lancaster at 801-538-3218.
