Minnesota Rules and Rulemaking
Librarians at the Legislative Library often hear, "I know there's a law about this but I can't find it in the statutes". Sometimes there are regulations, but they are not in the Minnesota Statutes, they are in the Minnesota Rules.
According to the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes, "An administrative rule is a general statement adopted by an agency to make the law it enforces or administers more specific, or to govern the agency's organization or procedure." However, an agency may only adopt a rule after the Legislature grants them the authority.
All agencies must follow a detailed rule-making process. The guide, " Rulemaking in Minnesota", details those procedures. In order to help track both current and historic rulemaking, the Revisor's Office recently created a Minnesota Rules Status system.
During the agency rulemaking process, a Statement of Need and Reasonableness (SONAR) is often required by Minnesota Statute 14.131. SONARs provide background on the proposed rule for decision makers and citizens. The Legislative Reference Library's collection of electronically archived SONARs is searchable separately and the SONARs are also incorporated into the Revisor's Minnesota Rules Status system.
To ensure that rules are still needed and relevant, Minnesota Statute 14.05 Subd. 5 requires agencies to annually submit a list of obsolete, unnecessary, or duplicative rules for review. Obsolete rules reports are accessible via the Legislative Library Catalog and the Revisor 's list.
If you would like further information on this or any other topic, contact a librarian at 651-296-8338, or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn.
