2003 Minnesota Statutes

     14.116 Notice to legislature. 

    When an agency mails notice of intent to adopt rules under 
 section 14.14 or 14.22, the agency must send a copy of the same 
 notice and a copy of the statement of need and reasonableness to 
 the chairs and ranking minority party members of the legislative 
 policy and budget committees with jurisdiction over the subject 
 matter of the proposed rules. 

    In addition, if the mailing of the notice is within two 
 years of the effective date of the law granting the agency 
 authority to adopt the proposed rules, the agency shall make 
 reasonable efforts to send a copy of the notice and the 
 statement to all sitting legislators who were chief house and 
 senate authors of the bill granting the rulemaking authority.  
 If the bill was amended to include this rulemaking authority, 
 the agency shall make reasonable efforts to send the notice and 
 the statement to the chief house and senate authors of the 
 amendment granting rulemaking authority, rather than to the 
 chief authors of the bill.
