STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 17850 This proposed legislation simply allows the State Administrative Rules Coordinator to make clerical revisions, and correct typographical or grammatical errors to proposed rules prior to sending a copy to the Legislative Services Office. Currently, the Administrative Rules Office and the Legislative Services Office receive these original rules proposals from state agencies simultaneously. LSO analysts then review these rules and send them out to Legislators. Often times the Administrative Rules Coordinator will make corrections to these proposals prior to their being published in the Administrative Bulletin, resulting in slightly differing versions being out there for review by Legislators, which in turn can create some confusion in the review process. This small change will result in one "cleaned up" version of proposed rules going out to Legislators and being published in the Administrative Rules Bulletin. Legislator's looking at the rules review analysis from the Legislative Services Office will have an up to date work product, consistent with the language published in the Administrative Bulletin. FISCAL NOTE No fiscal impact other than perhaps saving some costs for the Legislative Services Office in mailing and handling. Contact Name: Robert L.
