Sec. 4. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) and subject to section 3.1 of this chapter, an agency may readopt all rules subject to expiration under this chapter under one (1) rule that lists all rules that are readopted by their titles and subtitles only. A rule that has expired but is readopted under this subsection may not be removed from the Indiana Administrative Code.
(b) If, not later than thirty (30) days after an agency's publication of notice of its intention to adopt a rule under IC 4-22-2-23 using the listing allowed under subsection (a), a person submits to the agency a written request and the person's basis for the request that a particular rule be readopted separately from the readoption rule described in subsection (a), the agency must:
(1) readopt that rule separately from the readoption rule described in subsection (a); and
(2) follow the procedure for adoption of administrative rules under IC 4-22-2 with respect to the rule.
(c) If the agency does not receive a written request under subsection (b) regarding a rule within thirty (30) days after the agency's publication of notice, the agency may:
(1) submit the rule for filing with the publisher under IC 4-22-2-35; or
(2) elect the procedure for readoption under IC 4-22-2.
