14.19 DEADLINE TO COMPLETE RULEMAKING.
Within 180 days after issuance of the administrative law judge's report or that of the chief
administrative law judge, 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within 180 days, the rule is automatically withdrawn. The agency may not adopt the withdrawn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, with the exception of
section 14.101, if the noncompliance is approved by the chief administrative law judge. The
agency 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:
(1) any days used for review by the chief administrative law judge or the commission if the
review is required by law;
(2) days during which the rule cannot be adopted, because of votes by legislative committees
under section 14.126; or
(3) days during which the rule cannot be adopted because approval of the legislature is
required under section 14.127.
