North Dakota § 28-32-19

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

Text

1. The legislative council shall compile, index, and publish all rules filed pursuant to this
chapter in a publication which must be known as the North Dakota Administrative
Code, in this chapter referred to as the code. The code also must contain all objections
filed with the legislative council by the administrative rules committee pursuant to
section 28-32-17. The legislative council shall revise all or part of the code as often as
the legislative council determines necessary.
2. The legislative council may prescribe the format, style, and arrangement for rules to be
published in the code and may refuse to accept the filing of any rule that is not in
substantial compliance with the format, style, and arrangement. In arranging rules for
publication, the legislative council may make corrections in spelling, grammatical
construction, format, and punctuation of the rules as the legislative council determines
are proper. The legislative council shall keep and maintain a permanent code of all
rules filed, including superseded and repealed rules, which must be open to public
inspection during office hours.

3. The legislative council shall compile and publish the North Dakota Administrative Code
supplement according to the schedule of effective dates of rules in section 28-32-15.
a. The code supplement must contain all rules that have been filed with the
legislative council or which have become effective since the compilation and
publication of the preceding issue of the code supplement.
b. The code supplement must contain all objections filed with the legislative council
by the administrative rules committee pursuant to section 28-32-17.
4. The legislative council, with the consent of the adopting agency or commission, may
omit from the code or code supplement any rule the publication of which would be
unduly cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient, if the rule in printed or
duplicated form is made available on application to the agency or commission, and if
the code or code supplement contains a notice stating the general subject matter of
the omitted rule and how a copy may be obtained.
5. The code must be arranged, indexed, and printed or duplicated in a manner to permit
separate publication of portions thereof relating to individual agencies. An agency may
print as many copies of such separate portions of the code as it may require. If the
legislative council does not publish the code supplement due to technological
problems or lack of funds, the agency whose rules would have been published in the
code supplement shall provide a copy of the rules to any person upon request. The
agency may charge a fee for a copy of the rules as allowed under section 44-04-18.
