This bill requires all State agencies to hold public hearings on all proposed regulatory changes except emergency regulations under 10119 of the Administrative Procedures Act and those presently exempted under 10113 of the Administrative Procedures Act. At present many agencies may choose not to hold public hearings for many proposed regulations. Agencies may choose to hold monthly meetings to consider proposed regulations, using existing staff and facilities to mitigate costs. DNREC and the Division of Professional Regulation are already required to hold these public hearings. The Department of Education holds regulatory change discussions during their regularly scheduled board meetings.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Public Hearings Pursuant To The Administrative Procedures Act.
