Legal Affairs - Periodic Review
In the 2013 legislative session, the General Assembly enacted Session Law 2013-413. This law established G.S. § 150B-21.3A, “Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules.” This statute requires the Rules Review Commission (“Commission”) to establish a process and schedule for those covered agencies to ensure compliance with the law. This schedule and process requires agencies to review all active rules codified in the NC Administrative Code (“the Code”) every 10 years.
