Rulemaking
DORA is responsible for 40 boards, commissions, and advisory committees, charged with administering over 50 regulatory programs governing professions, occupations and businesses comprising over 710,000 individual licensees and approximately 40,000 businesses and institutions. As a result, state law requires DORA divisions with rulemaking authority to promulgate rules as part of our regulatory activities. By design, the DORA divisions’ processes of reviewing and adopting rules and regulations are public. Comments are taken into consideration throughout the entire rulemaking process, especially the formal stages that must be followed as outlined in the State Administrative Procedure Act.
