What are the elements of administrative rulemaking?

Administrative rulemaking is the process through which agencies and government bodies create and enforce their regulations. In South Carolina, the elements of administrative rulemaking process must be consistent with the Administrative Procedures Act. These elements include the publication of proposed rules, the opportunity for public comment and a period of notice and hearings before the agency enacts the rules. The first step in the administrative rulemaking process is the publication of proposed rules in the State Register. This allows the public to become aware of the proposed rules before the agency takes action. The public can then submit written comments on the proposed rule to the agency within the time period specified by the Administrative Procedures Act. The next step is the holding of a public hearing. At the hearing, the public can provide oral testimony regarding the proposed rule. The agency then considers the comments and testimony provided at the hearing to make any necessary revisions to the proposed rule. The final step is the adoption of the rule by the agency. Before the adoption of the rule is final, the agency must provide public notice of the adoption of the rule. The Administrative Procedures Act also requires the agency to provide a period of 30 days before the adoption of the rule to solicit additional public comments. After the adoption is final, the agency has the authority to enforce the rule.
