Agencies with websites must post notices of intent to promulgate rules on their home page, maintain negotiated rulemaking schedules and related documents online, and place written summaries of negotiated rulemaking on their websites.

Requires agencies to provide interested persons with reasonable response periods, meeting notices, access to public records, and consideration of recommendations during the negotiated rulemaking process.

Agencies must post proposed rulemaking notices on their websites so interested persons can view them online, and the bill declares an emergency effective upon passage and approval.
