The LSC Rules Drafting Manual explains how to draft administrative rules whether the agency is enacting, amending, or rescinding a rule for state agencies and state-supported institutions of higher learning. Useful primarily as a reference, this manual is especially helpful when first learning the rule drafting and filing process, as well as when further explanation is necessary regarding any technical errors found in agency rules. The Legislative Service Commission staff sometimes is requested to engage in specialized long-term research projects. At times, the Commission appoints a special committee of legislators to undertake such a long-term project with LSC staff assistance.
