SUMMARY

This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, retains the provision in the bill that allows an agency to incorporate by reference subsequent amendments to a code, standard, rule or regulation and adds a requirement that the exact title, edition or version and date of publication containing the subsequently incorporated amendment are included in notification materials provided to required parties. The amendment also requires the agency to certify to the Secretary of State that the agency has provided notice to the general public on its publicly accessible website and indicated where copies of the amended material may be obtained at cost. It also specifies that the subsequently incorporated amendment will take effect 5 days after notice is filed with the Secretary of State. The amendment removes provisions in the bill that removed the Attorney General's authority in the rule-making process. The provisions in the bill that are retained in the amendment include provisions that change notice requirements to provide that notice and copies of proposed rules be provided electronically unless the requestor specifies they be provided by mail and allow for electronic submission of certain rule-making information.
