Agencies need help with the drafting of rules. Education for this purpose is very important. Agency rules are sometimes in conflict with each other and some rules are in violation of the law. Something needs to be done about that. A problem exists when agencies do not have regular staff people responsible for and available to deal with problems relating to the rules.
Some agencies write manuals explaining their rules that are easier to understand than their rules.
There is also a danger that an agency manual may contain material not in the agency's rules that are treated as law. Committee member Bates indicated that because she works for the Legislative Service Bureau she cannot vote on anything that results in a Team recommendation for legislation. As a result she must abstain from voting on such items. A discussion of voting on Team business then followed. There will be a vote on the Final Report by a quorum of the Team and at that time any member may move to strike any recommendation agreed to earlier by the Team.
