14.19 Deadline to complete rulemaking.

Within 180 days after issuance of the administrative law judge's report, the agency shall submit its notice of adoption, amendment, or repeal to the State Register for publication. If the agency has not submitted its notice to the State Register within 180 days, the rule is automatically withdrawn. The agency may not adopt the withdrawn rules without again following the procedures of sections 14.05 to 14.28. It shall report to the legislative coordinating commission, other appropriate committees of the legislature, and the governor its failure to adopt rules and the reasons for that failure. The 180-day time limit of this section does not include any days used for review by the chief administrative law judge or the commission if the review is required by law.
