§ 800 - Purpose - Vermont Statutes

§ 800. Purpose

The general assembly intends that:

(1) agencies maximize the involvement of the public in the development of rules;

(2) agency inclusion of public participation in the rule-making processes should be consistent;

(3) the general assembly should articulate, as clearly as possible, the intent of any legislation which delegates rule-making authority;

(4) when an agency adopts policy or procedures, it should not do so to supplant or avoid the adoption of rules. (Added 1999, No. 146 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
