The S'tate Register is the official source, and only complete listing, lOr all state agency rulcmaking in its various singes. State agencies arc required to publish notice of their rulcmaking uction in the Stale Register. Published every Monday, lhc S~a/e Register makes it easy to follow and participate in the important rulcmaking process. Approximately 80 state agencies have the authority to issue rules. Each agency is assigned specific l\1innl'sot;i Ruic chapter numbers. Every odd-numbered year the l\:1i11uesotll Ruks nrc published. Supplements arc published to update this set of rules. Generally speaking, proposed and lldoptcd exempt rules <lo not appear in this set bccnusc of their short-term nature, but arc published in the .':.'tale Register.
An agency must first solicit Commrnts on Planned Ruh~s or Comments 011 Planned Ruh- Amendments from the public on the sul~jcct matter of a possible rulemaking proposal under active consideration within the agency (A1i11neso1a s:tatutes ** 14.101).

This notice asks for comment on !he rules as proposed. Proposed emergency rules, and withdrawn propo:;c<l rules, arc also published in the State Register. Afler proposed rules have gone through the comment period, and have been rewritten into their final form, they again appear in the State Register as Adopted Hules. These final adopted rules arc not printed in their entirety, but only the changes made since their publication as Proposed Rules. To sec the full rule, as adopted and in effect, a person simply needs two issues of the State Register, the issue the rule appeared m as proposed, and la!er as adopted.
