                      determinations:  judicial review

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    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 Office of Administrative Law (OAL) be  
          modified or set aside.

           ANALYSIS  :    Under existing 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  
                                                                CONTINUED

          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.

           Comments
           
          According to the author's office, 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.
