The comment period has closed. The Authority welcomed comments regarding these proposed rules until 5 pm EST on March 18, 2020. 

JOINT COMMITTEE ON AGENCY RULE REVIEW (JCARR)

The Authority files a rule proposal with the JCARR to begin the legislature’s rule-review process. The process requires the state agency to conduct a public hearing 31 to 40 days after the original file date. Generally, 41 to 65 days after the original file date, JCARR schedules the state agency to appear at a meeting concerning the rule proposal.

In this section, you will find rules, including the public hearing notices, currently under review of JCARR:
