Description
INTRODUCTION Perhaps no administrative function comes with more discretion, as well as controversy, than rulemaking. Concomitant issues of bureaucratic accountability and responsiveness abound. These features lead to the question: Who is minding the store when it comes to oversight of administrative rulemaking? Most state administrative agencies can be compared to a "store" whose shelves contain a large inventory of actual (or potential) rules each agency is empowered to release through its front "door." The agency, of course, can open the door and release those rules and regulations. But the agency door is subject to a wide variety of influences from various actors attempting to control the door mechanism. Whether the rulemaking door remains closed, barely ajar, or swings wide open is the result of multiple actors putting pressure(s) on the respective agencies' doors.
