The commission recently adopted as final regulations those proposed on October 2, 2006. The October regulations were a modified version of regulations proposed on August 29, 2006.
The commission will now submit the regulations to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for review. The OAL has 30 days to review and approve the regulations or disapprove them and require further changes.
If the OAL approves the rules, it will send them to the secretary of state, and the regulations become effective 30 days thereafter. The commission estimates that the regulations will become effective February 1, 2007.
