Model State APA delayed

From the Rulemaking blog of the Administrative Codes and Registers Section of the National Association of Secretaries of State: "Extension Granted to MSAPA Drafting Committee".

Uniform Law Commission (ULC) leadership has granted the Model State Administrative Procedure Act (MSAPA) drafting committee an extension.  The MSAPA was to have been completed and up for final approval at this summer’s ULC conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, July 9 - 16, 2009.

In an e-mail announcing the decision, John Sebert, ULC Executive Director, said:

    This July [2009] the Committee will read the rulemaking provisions – Articles 2, 3, 7 and the relevant definitions in Article 1 – and after them as many of the judicial review provisions of Articles 4, 4A, 5 and 6 (and the related definitions in Article 1) as time permits. Consideration in July 2010 will be focused almost exclusively on the judicial review provisions. MSAPA will have its final consideration, and a vote by the states, in July 2010.
