If the Rules Review Commission receives written and signed objections in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3(b2) from 10 or more persons clearly requesting review by the legislature and the Rules Review Commission approves the rule, the rule will become effective as provided in G.S. 150B-21.3(b1). The Rules Review Commission will receive written objections until 5 p.m. on the day after the day the Rules Review Commission approves the rule. You may submit an objection to the Rules Review Commission by mail, delivery service, hand delivery or fax.

Department of State Treasurer Decennial Review of Existing Rules

N.C. General Statute §150B-21.3A adopted in 2013, requires state agencies to review existing rules every 10 years. The Department of State Treasurer rules are encompassed in the subchapters of Title 20 of the North Carolina Administrative Code.  Agency rules that do not complete the required decennial review expire, unless an exemption applies.  The Department's rules are reviewed on a schedule established by the Rules Review Commission. The rules currently due for review are provided below.

N.C. General Statutes §150B-21.3A(c) requires the Department to review each rule and make an initial determination from one of these three classifications:

•       Necessary with substantive public interest – the agency has received public comment on the rule within the past two years or the rule affects the property interest of the regulated public, and the agency knows or suspects that any person may object to the rule. 

•        Necessary without substantive public interest – the agency determines that the rule is needed, and the rule has not had public comment in the last two years. This category includes rules that identify information that is readily available to the public, such as an address or telephone number.

•        Unnecessary – the agency determines that the rule is obsolete, redundant or otherwise not needed.

 

The initial classifications of existing rules by an agency are subject to public review and comment for a period of sixty days.  N.C. General Statutes § 150B-21.3A(5) defines a “public comment” as “written comments objecting to the rule, in whole or in part, received by an agency from any member of the public, including an association or other organization representing the regulated community or other members of the public.”  Additionally, pursuant to G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(2), in order for the Rules Review Commission to determine whether the public comment has merit, the public comment must address the specific substance of the rule and address any of the standards of Commission review, as set forth in G.S. 150B-21.9(a).   

Comments regarding the Department's initial determinations will be accepted by e-mail to dst.ncac@nctreasurer.com or by mail to:
