If you feel like you are responding to correction notices every time you file a rule, you may want to take a couple of hours for a rulemaking refresher. The Division of Administrative Rules has scheduled rulemaking training on Wednesday, November 14. Staff will focus the morning session (9 a.m. to noon) on completing rule forms. The afternoon session (1:30 to 3:30 p.m.) will be centered on preparing rule text.
Reviewing the rules sent back over the last quarter, it appears that some agencies find the forms particularly challenging, but not the text. Others find the opposite to be true. Agency rule filers may attend the morning session, afternoon session, or both.
Seating is limited. Those wishing to attend must RSVP to Sophia Manousakis at “smanousa” at “utah.gov” no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 9. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing auxiliary communicative aids and services for these meetings should notify Ms. Manousakis at least three working days in advance of the session.
As always, the Division staff is available to provide specific, one-on-one training to any state agency. To schedule one-on-one training, please contact Ken Hansen (801-538-3777).
