Rules Task Force
85 State Office Building, St. Paul, MN 55155
Phone: (651) 296-9002 Fax: (651) 297-3697
The Rules Task Force has completed its
final report. It is available in three parts: the executive summary, the report,
and the appendices.
The task force was created by
the 2000 Legislature to study and make recommendations to the
governor and the legislature on issues relating to
review of agency rules.
The recommendations must include, but are not limited to:
|
(1) a process to be used by agencies, the governor, and the legislature to
identify and prioritize rules and related laws and programs that will be
subject to legislative review;
(2) a process by which the legislature will review rules and related laws
and programs identified under clause (1);
(3) the estimated agency and legislative time and resources required for
review of rules and related laws and programs under the processes
recommended under clauses (1) and (2);
(4) the effect of possible repeal of agency rules on the state budget and
any loss of benefits to citizens of the state resulting from such a
repeal;
(5) the desirability of changes in the rulemaking requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act, given increased legislative scrutiny of
rules; and
(6) an analysis of ways to ensure or encourage compliance with state
policies and goals using methods other than rulemaking, such as
administrative penalty orders, descriptive guidelines, best management
practices, compliance incentives, technical assistance, training, and
procedural templates. |
Recommendations must be made
to the legislature and governor by January 15, 2001. The task force
sunsets on June 30, 2001.
