Cal. Gov. Code § 11017.6

Current through the 2024 Legislative Session.

Section 11017.6 - Rulemaking calendar for year

Every state agency responsible for implementing a statute which requires interpretation pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act shall prepare, by January 30 of each year, a rulemaking calendar for that year. The rulemaking calendar shall be prepared in accordance with a format specified by the office, approved by the head of the department or, if the rulemaking agency is an entity other than a department, by the officer, board, commission, or other entity which has been delegated the authority to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations, and published in the California Regulatory Notice Register. The preparation of the rulemaking calendar shall not preclude adoption of a regulation that is not included in the rulemaking calendar but which is required by circumstances not reasonably anticipated at the time that the rulemaking calendar is prepared.

The rulemaking calendar shall consist of two schedules as follows:

(a) A schedule which describes the rulemaking necessary to implement statutes enacted during the previous year. The schedule shall include the projected dates on which the agency plans to:

(1) Publish the notice of proposed action for each rulemaking.

(2) Schedule a public hearing if one is required or requested.

(3) Adopt the regulations.

(4) Submit the regulations to the office for review.

In addition, the schedule shall identify the organizational unit within the agency which is responsible for each rulemaking and the name and telephone number of the agency officer to whom inquiries concerning the rulemaking may be directed.

(b) A schedule which describes all other rulemaking the agency plans to propose, to implement or interpret other statutes enacted during years prior to the previous year. The schedule shall contain the same information concerning rulemaking as is required in the schedule prepared under subdivision (a), and a report on the status of all uncompleted rulemaking that was described on previous calendars.

In addition to publishing the rulemaking calendar in the California Regulatory Notice Register, state agencies subject to this section shall send the calendar to the author of each statute enacted during the previous year for which the agency has responsibility, together with an explanation of the priority the agency has given the statute in the rulemaking calendar.
