Description

Administrative Process Act. Amends the Administrative Process Act by renumbering provisions relating to the promulgation of regulations by state agencies including public notice and participation. In addition the bill clarifies the process for promulgating emergency regulations and provides for such regulations to be adopted, in certain instances, upon consultation with the Attorney General and approval of the Governor. Under the bill, the duration of an emergency regulation may be extended for up to six months beyond the initial one year effective period if approved by the Governor. The bill also (i) changes the venue for informal fact finding proceedings and formal hearings to the city or county where the administrative agency maintains its principal office or as the parties may otherwise agree, (ii) authorizes agencies using the fast track rulemaking process to provide for a public comment period of 30 days after the publication of the regulation in the Virginia Register and requires the Department of Planning and Budget to provide economic impact analysis within 21 days for such regulations, and (iii) authorizes an additional 30 days for the Department of Planning and Budget to complete fiscal impact statements under certain circumstances. The bill makes technical amendments and removes an obsolete provision. Read the Bill »
