Procedure for Subjecting a Proposed Rule to Legislative Review
If an objection is not resolved prior to the adoption of the rule, a person may also submit written objections to the state Rules Review Commission. If the commission receives written and signed objections in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3(b2) from 10 or more persons who clearly request review by the legislature and the commission approves the rule, the rule will become effective as provided in G.S. 150B-21.3(b1). The Rules Review Commission will then receive written objections until 5 p.m. on the day after the commission approves the rule. The objections may be submitted by mail, delivery service, hand delivery or fax transmission. For additional information concerning the submission of objections to the Rules Review Commission, please call the commission’s staff attorney at 919-431-3000.
