While administrative rules regulate and inform, they also provide opportunity for the public to participate in state decision-making; that opportunity is part of the rulemaking process. State agencies are required to accept public comment about proposed rules, notify you by mail if you have requested advance notice of rulemaking proceedings, and may also hold public hearings on proposed rules.
