14.18 PUBLICATION OF ADOPTED RULE; EFFECTIVE DATE.
Subdivision 1. Generally. A rule is effective after it has been subjected to all requirements
described in sections 14.131 to 14.20 and five working days after the notice of adoption is
published in the State Register unless a later date is required by section 14.126 or other law or
specified in the rule. If the rule adopted is the same as the proposed rule, publication may be made
by publishing notice in the State Register that the rule has been adopted as proposed and by citing
the prior publication. If the rule adopted differs from the proposed rule, the portions of the adopted
rule that differ from the proposed rule must be included in the notice of adoption together with a
citation to the prior State Register publication of the remainder of the proposed rule. The nature of
the modifications must be clear to a reasonable person when the notice of adoption is considered
together with the State Register publication of the proposed rule, except that modifications may
also be made that comply with the form requirements of section 14.07, subdivision 7.
If the agency omitted from the notice of proposed rule adoption the text of the proposed rule,
as permitted by section 14.14, subdivision 1a, paragraph (b), the chief administrative law judge
may provide that the notice of the adopted rule need not include the text of any changes from the
proposed rule. However, the notice of adoption must state in detail the substance of the changes
made from the proposed rule, and must state that a free copy of the portion of the adopted rule that
was the subject of the rulemaking proceeding, not including any material adopted by reference as
permitted by section 14.07, is available upon request to the agency.
Subd. 2. Pollution Control Agency fees. A new fee or fee increase adopted by the Pollution
Control Agency is subject to legislative approval during the next biennial budget session
following adoption. The commissioner shall submit a report of fee adjustments to the legislature
as a supplement to the biennial budget. Any new fee or fee increase remains in effect unless
the legislature passes a bill disapproving the new fee or fee increase. A fee or fee increase
disapproved by the legislature becomes null and void on July 1 following adjournment.
