A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 28-32-18 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the amendment of an administrative rule by agreement of the agency and administrative rules committee.

SB 2182 streamlines how North Dakota state agencies can amend or repeal administrative rules by allowing direct agreement between the agency and the Administrative Rules Committee, bypassing standard public comment and review processes. It directly affects state agencies that create rules and the committee responsible for reviewing them. The key provision (Section 6) permits agencies to change rules through committee agreement without following full adoption requirements, though the committee must reconsider the change at a future meeting if requested by the agency or public. This bill does not change the rules themselves but alters the process for modifying them.
