1997 Minnesota Statutes

     14.19 Deadline to complete rulemaking. 

    Within 180 days after issuance of the administrative law 
 judge's report, the agency shall submit its notice of adoption, 
 amendment, or repeal to the State Register for publication.  If 
 the agency has not submitted its notice to the State Register 
 within 180 days, the rule is automatically withdrawn.  The 
 agency may not adopt the withdrawn rules without again following 
 the procedures of sections 14.05 to 14.28.  It shall report to 
 the legislative coordinating commission, other appropriate 
 committees of the legislature, and the governor its failure to 
 adopt rules and the reasons for that failure.  The 180-day time 
 limit of this section does not include any days used for review 
 by the chief administrative law judge or the commission if the 
 review is required by law.
