                                 Jim Frazier, Chair
           AB 1415 (Committee on Accountability & Administrative Review) -  

                           As Introduced:  March 20, 2013
           
          SUBJECT  :   Administrative Procedures: regulations:  
          determinations: judicial 

           SUMMARY  :   The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) reviews all  
          rules, regulations and orders, and any revisions to those rules,  
          regulations and orders that any state agency may use to  
          administer its statutory authority. If the OAL finds that a  
          regulation adopted by an agency has not gone through the  
          appropriate procedures and been filed with the Secretary of  
          State, it may issue a public determination on the status of the  
          regulation. 

          This bill extends from 30 days to 45 days the time any  
          interested person has to obtain judicial review of a given  
          determination by filing a written petition requesting that the  
          determination of the OAL be modified or set aside.


           FISCAL EFFECT  :   Unknown

           COMMENTS :   This bill is intended to increase access and  
          transparency in the regulation and rule making process.  
          Extending the filing deadline from 30 to 45 days will allow more  
          time for an interested party to both identify an OAL  
          determination and to file a written petition requesting that the  
          determination of the OAL be modified or set aside.
