• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 28: Judicial Procedure, Civil
• Ch. 28-32: Administrative Agencies Practice Act

Text

1. The authority of an administrative agency to adopt administrative rules is authority
delegated by the legislative assembly. As part of that delegation, the legislative
assembly reserves to itself the authority to determine when and if rules of
administrative agencies are effective. Every administrative agency may adopt, amend,
or repeal reasonable rules in conformity with this chapter and any statute administered
or enforced by the agency. An administrative agency may not adopt a rule that
prescribes a criminal penalty unless authorized by another chapter.
2. In addition to other rulemaking requirements imposed by law, each agency may
include in its rules a description of that portion of its organization and functions subject
to this chapter and may include a statement of the general course and method of its
operations and how the public may obtain information or make submissions or
requests.
