(e) Upon receipt of documents described in subsection (d), the publisher shall distribute the full text of the proposed provisional rule to legislators and legislative committees in the manner and the form specified by the legislative council or the personnel subcommittee of the legislative council acting for the legislative council.

(i) An agency may amend a provisional rule with another provisional rule by following the procedures in this section for the amended provisional rule. However, unless otherwise provided by IC 4-22-2.3, a provisional rule and all amendments of a provisional rule by another provisional rule expire not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the initial provisional rule is accepted for filing under subsection (g). Unless otherwise provided by IC 4-22-2.3-2, the subject of the provisional rule, including all amendments to the provisional rule, may not be subsequently extended under this section or section 37.2 of this chapter. If the governor determines that the circumstance that is the basis for using the procedures under this section ceases to exist, the governor may terminate the provisional rule before the lapse of one hundred eighty (180) days. The termination is effective when filed with the publisher. The publisher shall publish the termination notice in the Indiana Register.

(j) Subject to subsection (k), the attorney general or the governor may file an objection to a provisional rule that is adopted under this section not later than forty-five (45) days after the date that a provisional rule or amendment to a provisional rule is accepted for filing under subsection (g). The objection must cite the document control number for the affected provisional rule and state the basis for the objection. When filed with the publisher, the objection has the effect of invalidating the provisional rule or amendment to a provisional rule. The publisher shall publish the objection in the Indiana Register.

(k) The attorney general may file a written objection to a provisional rule under subsection (j) only if the attorney general determines that the provisional rule has been adopted:

(1) without statutory authority; or

Intent
Status: in_force

Sec. 2. In construing this article, it is the intent of the general assembly that the following policies be carried out:

(1) That the lottery games be operated by the state lottery commission, which is created by IC 4-30-3 as a separate body politic and corporate from state government and should function as much as possible as an entrepreneurial business enterprise.

(2) That the general assembly recognizes that the operation of a lottery is a unique activity for state government and that policies and procedures appropriate for the performance of other governmental functions are not necessarily appropriate for the operation of a lottery.

(3) That the lottery games be operated as a self-supporting revenue raising operation.

(4) That the commission be accountable to the general assembly and the people of Indiana through a system of audits and reports and by complying with financial disclosure, open meetings, and public record laws.

(5) That the commission ensure the equitable participation of minorities and women in all phases of the lottery, including instant game and on-line retailers and vendors. The commission shall establish annual goals:

(A) for the use of minority and women's business enterprises (as defined in IC 4-13-16.5-1) in construction, professional services, other services, and supplies; and

(B) derived from a statistical analysis of utilization study of lottery contracts that are required to be updated every five (5) years.

The commission shall, in cooperation with the Indiana department of administration, adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to ensure that the goals set under this subdivision are met.

(6) That lottery game advertising and promotion shall be consistent with the dignity and integrity of the state.

Sec. 0.7. (a) This section applies only to a licensed owner described in IC 4-33-6-1(a)(1).

(2) Sections 28 through 36 of this chapter.

This section as added by the 2023 regular session of the general assembly applies to interim rules that are accepted for filing by the publisher of the Indiana Register after June 30, 2023, regardless of whether the adopting agency initiated official action to adopt the interim rule before July 1, 2023. An action taken before July 1, 2023, in conformity with this section (as effective after June 30, 2023) is validated to the same extent as if the action was taken after June 30, 2023.

(b) An agency may only adopt a rule on a subject for which the agency has rulemaking authority using the procedures in this section if the governor finds that the agency proposing to adopt the rule has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the governor that use of interim rulemaking procedures under this section is necessary to implement:

(1) a new state or federal law or program, rule of another state agency, federal regulation, or federal grant or loan agreement, or (if used by the agency to carry out the agency's responsibilities) a building, an equipment, a firefighting, a safety, or a professional code adopted by a nationally recognized organization;

(2) a change in a state or federal law or program, rule of another state agency, federal regulation, federal grant or loan agreement, or (if used by the agency to carry out the agency's responsibilities) a building, an equipment, a firefighting, a safety, or a professional code adopted by a nationally recognized organization; or

(3) a category of rule authorized under IC 4-22-2.3 to be adopted as an interim rule;

before the time that a final rule approved by the governor under section 34 of this chapter could reasonably take effect.

(c) To obtain a determination from the governor, an agency must submit to the governor the text of the proposed interim rule, a statement justifying the need for interim rulemaking procedures, and any additional information required by the governor in the form and in the manner required by the governor. The governor may not approve interim rulemaking for any part of a proposed interim rule that:

(1) adds or amends language to increase or expand application of a fee, fine, or civil penalty or a schedule of fees, fines, or civil penalties; or

(2) is expected to exceed the threshold set forth in section 22.7(c)(6) of this chapter;

prior to the budget committee's review of the proposed interim rule. A notice of determination by the governor shall include findings that explain the basis for the determination. The notice of determination shall be provided to the agency in an electronic format. Approval of a request shall be treated as a determination that the rule meets the criteria in this subsection.

(d) To publish a notice of interim rulemaking in the Indiana Register, the agency must submit the following to the publisher:

(1) The full text of the agency's proposed interim rule in the form required by section 20 of this chapter.

(2) The regulatory analysis submitted to the governor under subsection (c).

(3) A statement justifying the need for interim rulemaking.

(4) The approval of the governor to use interim rulemaking procedures for the rule.

(5) If the proposed interim rule adds or amends language to increase or expand application of a fee, fine, or civil penalty or a schedule of fees, fines, or civil penalties, the agenda of the budget committee meeting at which the rule was scheduled for review.

(6) The documents required by section 21 of this chapter.

(7) If the proposed interim rule is expected to exceed the threshold set forth in section 22.7(c)(6) of this chapter, the agenda of the budget committee meeting at which the rule was scheduled for review.

The publisher shall review materials submitted under this section and determine the date that the publisher intends to include the material in the Indiana Register. After establishing the intended publication date, the publisher shall provide a written or an electronic mail authorization to proceed to the agency.

(e) The agency shall include the following in the notice of the public comment period:

(1) A general description of the subject matter of the proposed interim rule, including the document control number.

(2) The full text of the agency's proposed interim rule in the form required by section 20 of this chapter (excluding the text of a matter incorporated by reference under section 21 of this chapter).

(3) The regulatory analysis submitted to the governor under subsection (c) (excluding appendices containing data, studies, or analyses referenced in the regulatory analysis).

(4) A statement justifying any requirement or cost that is:

(A) imposed on a regulated entity under the interim rule; and

(B) not expressly required by the statute authorizing the agency to adopt rules or any other state or federal law.

The statement required under this subdivision must include a reference to any data, studies, or analyses relied upon by the agency in determining that the imposition of the requirement or cost is necessary.

(5) Information concerning where, when, and how a person may inspect and copy any data, studies, or analyses referenced under subdivision (4).

(6) Information concerning where, when, and how a person may inspect any documents incorporated by reference into the proposed interim rule under section 21 of this chapter.

(7) A date that is thirty (30) days after the notice is published in the Indiana Register by which written comments are due and a statement explaining that any person may submit written comments concerning the proposed interim rule during the public comment period and instructions on when, where, and how the person may submit written comments.

However, inadequacy or insufficiency of the subject matter description under subdivision (1) or a statement of justification under subdivision (4) in a notice does not invalidate a rulemaking action. An agency may continue the public comment period by publishing a subsequent notice in the Indiana Register extending the public comment period.

(f) Before adopting the interim rule, the agency shall prepare a written response to comments received by the agency, including the reasons for rejecting any recommendations made in the comments.

(g) After an agency has completed the public comment period and complied with subsection (f), the agency may:

(1) adopt a rule that is identical to a proposed interim rule published in the Indiana Register under this section; or

(2) adopt a revised version of a proposed interim rule published under this section and include provisions that did not appear in the initially published proposed version.

An agency may not adopt an interim rule that substantially differs from the version of the proposed interim rule published in the Indiana Register under this section, unless it is a logical outgrowth of any proposed interim rule as supported by any written comments submitted during the public comment period.

(h) After the agency adopts the interim rule, the agency shall submit the following to the publisher for filing:

(1) The text of the adopted interim rule. The agency shall submit the full text of the interim rule in the form required by section 20 of this chapter.

(2) A summary of the comments received by the agency during the public comment period and the agency's response to the comments.

(3) A signature page that indicates that the agency has adopted the interim rule in conformity with all procedures required by law.

(4) The documents required by section 21 of this chapter.

The publisher shall determine the format of the interim rule and other documents to be submitted under this subsection. An interim rule may suspend but not repeal a rule approved by the governor under section 34 of this chapter.

(i) Subject to subsection (h) and section 39 of this chapter, the publisher shall:

(1) accept the interim rule for filing;

(2) electronically record the date and time that the interim rule is accepted; and

(3) publish the text of the:

(A) adopted interim rule;

(B) regulatory analysis (excluding appendices containing data, studies, or analyses referenced in the regulatory analysis); and

(C) governor's approval in the Indiana Register.

(j) An interim rule adopted by an agency under this section takes effect on the latest of the following dates:

(1) The effective date of the statute delegating authority to the agency to adopt the interim rule.

(2) The date and time that the interim rule is accepted for filing under subsection (i).

(3) The effective date stated by the adopting agency in the interim rule.

(4) The date of compliance with every requirement established by law as a prerequisite to the adoption or effectiveness of the interim rule.

(5) The statutory effective date for an interim rule set forth in law.

(k) An agency may amend an interim rule with another interim rule by following the procedures in this section for adoption of an interim rule. Except as provided in IC 4-22-2.3, an interim rule and all subsequent rules on the same subject adopted under section 37.1 of this chapter or this section expire not later than four hundred twenty-five (425) days after the initial interim rule is accepted for filing under subsection (i).

(l) Subject to subsection (m), the attorney general or the governor may file an objection to an interim rule that is adopted under this section not later than forty-five (45) days after the date that an interim rule or amendment to an interim rule is accepted for filing under subsection (i). The objection must cite the document control number for the affected interim rule and state the basis for the objection. When filed with the publisher, the objection has the effect of invalidating the interim rule or amendment to an interim rule. The publisher shall publish the objection in the Indiana Register.

(m) The attorney general may file a written objection to an interim rule under subsection (l) only if the attorney general determines that the interim rule has been adopted:

(1) without statutory authority; or

(2) without complying with this section.

A notice of objection to an interim rule by the attorney general must include findings that explain the basis for the determination. The notice of objection shall be provided to the agency in an electronic format.

(2) Repair of damage to, or replacement of, any building or equipment owned by the state or by any agency of the state which has been so damaged as to materially affect the public safety or utility thereof, or which has been destroyed, if such is necessary to discharge the functions of the state or of any agency of the state, and if such damage or loss was caused by sabotage, fire, flood, wind, war, catastrophe or disaster.

(3) Repair of damage to, or replacement of, any building or equipment owned by the state or by an agency of the state which has so depreciated or deteriorated or suffered obsolescence as to become unusable, but is required in the discharge of necessary functions of the state or of an agency of the state, and if such depreciation, deterioration or obsolescence was not foreseen at the time appropriations were made by the previous general assembly.

(4) Emergencies resulting from increase of costs or any other factor or event unforeseen at the time appropriations were made which render insufficient the appropriated funds for food, clothing, maintenance or medical care necessary for the operation of any state institution.

(5) Emergencies resulting from increase in costs or any other factor or event unforeseen at the time appropriations were made which render insufficient the appropriated funds for the cost of instruction or other costs of operation of any of the state educational institutions.

(6) In addition to and without limitation by the foregoing, supplementation of an exhausted fund or account of any state agency, whatever the cause of such exhaustion, if such is found necessary to accomplish the orderly administration of such state agency, or the accomplishment of an existing specific state project. However, it shall be an express condition of any such supplementation, that the funds shall not serve to authorize a purpose or purposes which were included in the budget bill, or budget bills, to the previous general assembly but were wholly omitted or excluded from appropriations made by the general assembly.

The provisions of this section shall not change, impair or destroy any fund previously created, nor be deemed to affect the administration of any contingency or emergency appropriations made for specific purposes.

(b) If in the administration of any contingency or emergency appropriation made to the budget agency, it should appear that the allocation by the budget agency of funds to any designated other agency of the state for expenditure is illegal then such appropriation or fund may, consistent with the provisions of such contingency or emergency appropriations and with the approval of the governor, be expended for and on behalf of any other agency of the state by the budget agency pursuant to the standards set forth in this section. No provisions in this section are intended to conflict or interfere with the powers and duties of the state board of finance.
