News About Rulemaking in North Carolina

From OAH:

In response to public comments, the Office of Administrative Hearings and the Rules Review Commission have approved amendments to the Administrative Rule Style Guide. The updated version of the Style Guide is now available here on the OAH website.

If you want to see exactly what changed, a redline version is available here. Examples of changes include: use of “their” as a plural pronoun, and clarification of which statutes to cite in a history note.

As a reminder, the Style Guide is meant to assist agencies drafting rules; it is not a binding document. If you have any questions, contact Rules Division staff.

From OSBM:

OSBM has updated its guidance materials for regulatory impact analyses to more fully address common questions and challenges. The revised guidance can be accessed in the State Budget Manual Chapter 10. Additional resources, helpful links, and the archive of approved analyses are also available on OSBM’s regulatory analysis webpage.
