    II. Prior to January 1, 1987, the commissioner of labor shall present proposed legislation containing a specific delegation of rulemaking authority to replace this section to the chairman of the joint legislative committee on administrative rules established under RSA 541-A and to the senate president and the speaker of the house of representatives who may refer such proposed legislation to the appropriate standing committees. This proposed legislative delegation of rulemaking authority shall be drafted in as narrow a manner as possible, consistent with the need to provide the commissioner of labor with sufficient authority to fulfill the regulatory role assigned to him under RSA 277:10-11.
