ID S1366

Agencies must determine whether negotiated rulemaking is feasible before adopting, amending, or repealing rules, with feasibility determinations not subject to judicial review.

Agencies that determine negotiated rulemaking is feasible must publish a notice of intent containing the rule's subject matter, purpose, statutory authority, and principal issues involved, and must identify a contact person for comments.

Agencies with websites must post notices of intent to promulgate rules on their website home pages and make them accessible online.

Agencies conducting negotiated rulemaking must provide interested persons with reasonable response time, meeting notice, access to agency information, consideration of recommendations, and a written summary of unresolved issues and conclusions.

Agencies must explain in proposed rulemaking notices why negotiated rulemaking was not feasible if they did not conduct it, and agencies with websites must post proposed rulemaking notices on their website home pages.
