Rhode IslandRhode Island agencies list and review active rules every five years
Rhode Island law provides for agencies to list and review active rules every five years while using the usual process to adopt or change rules.
What it does
Each agency files an electronic list of its lawfully adopted rules that are in force and confirms that it reviewed them.
Argument forA scheduled review could help agencies keep track of which lawfully adopted rules remain in force.
Argument againstAgencies may spend time reviewing and listing rules on a schedule, even when those rules have not changed.
More detail
Each agency files an electronic list of rules in force and attests that it reviewed them. This applies to each agency and its lawfully adopted rules that are in force when the list is filed. This confirmation does not replace the chapter's process for adopting, changing, or repealing rules. Agencies file on the first Tuesday in January every fifth year, following a schedule set by the secretary of state.
