Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-9-107","heading":"Interstate Commission - Rulemaking","body":"ARTICLE VI\n\nRULEMAKING FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION\n\nA. The Interstate Commission shall promulgate and publish rules\n\nin order to effectively and efficiently achieve the purposes of the\n\ncompact.\n\nB. Rulemaking shall occur pursuant to the criteria set forth in\n\nthis article and the bylaws and rules adopted pursuant thereto.\n\nSuch rulemaking shall substantially conform to the principles of the\n\n“Model State Administrative Procedures Act”, 1981 Act, Uniform Laws\n\nAnnotated, Vol. 15, p.1 (2000), or such other administrative\n\nprocedures act, as the Interstate Commission deems appropriate\n\nconsistent with due process requirements under the U.S. Constitution\n\nas now or hereafter interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court. All\n\nrules and amendments shall become binding as of the date specified,\n\nas published with the final version of the rule as approved by the\n\nInterstate Commission.\n\nC. When promulgating a rule, the Interstate Commission shall,\n\nat a minimum:\n\n1. Publish the proposed rule’s entire text stating the\n\nreason(s) for that proposed rule;\n\n2. Allow and invite any and all persons to submit written data,\n\nfacts, opinions and arguments, which information shall be added to\n\nthe record, and be made publicly available;\n\n3. Provide an opportunity for an informal hearing if petitioned\n\nby ten (10) or more persons; and\n\n4. Promulgate a final rule and its effective date, if\n\nappropriate, based on input from state or local officials, or\n\ninterested parties.\n\nD. Allow, not later than sixty (60) days after a rule is\n\npromulgated, any interested person to file a petition in the United\n\nStates District Court for the District of Columbia or in the Federal\n\nDistrict Court where the Interstate Commission’s principal office is\n\nlocated for judicial review of such rule. If the court finds that\n\nthe Interstate Commission’s action is not supported by substantial\n\nevidence in the rulemaking record, the court shall hold the rule\n\nunlawful and set it aside. For purposes of this subsection,\n\nevidence is substantial if it would be considered substantial\n\nevidence under the Model State Administrative Procedures Act.\n\nE. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states\n\nrejects a rule, those states may, by enactment of a statute or\n\nresolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact, cause that\n\nsuch rule shall have no further force and effect in any compacting\n\nstate.\n\nF. The existing rules governing the operation of the Interstate\n\nCompact on Juveniles superceded by this act shall be null and void\n\ntwelve (12) months after the first meeting of the Interstate\n\nCommission created hereunder.\n\nG. Upon determination by the Interstate Commission that a\n\nstate-of-emergency exists, it may promulgate an emergency rule which\n\nshall become effective immediately upon adoption, provided that the\n\nusual rulemaking procedures provided hereunder shall be\n\nretroactively applied to said rule as soon as reasonably possible,\n\nbut no later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of the\n\nemergency rule.","path":["OK Code","Title 10A"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os10A.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"edab3493824083f9c1ddeebb0504f3a780acf1f13bf768dbe50d1279035d5c91","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-10a-10a-2-9-106","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-10a-10a-2-9-108"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
