Except to the extent subsection (2) or (3) of this section provides otherwise, each rule adopted after July 1, 2005, becomes effective thirty (30) days after its proper filing in the Office of the Secretary of State.
A rule becomes effective on a date later than that established by subsection (1) of this section if a later date is required by another statute or specified in the rule.
A rule may become effective immediately upon its filing or on any subsequent date earlier than that established by subsection (1) of this section if the agency establishes such an effective date and finds that:
It is required by Constitution, statute or court order;
The rule only confers a benefit or removes a restriction on the public or some segment thereof;
The rule only delays the effective date of another rule that is not yet effective; or
The earlier effective date is necessary because of imminent peril to the public health, safety or welfare.
The finding and a brief statement of the reasons therefor required by paragraph (b) of this subsection must be made a part of the rule. In any action contesting the effective date of a rule made effective under paragraph (b) of this subsection, the burden is on the agency to justify its finding.
A temporary rule may become effective immediately upon its filing or on any subsequent date earlier than that established by subsection (1) of this section.
Each agency shall make a reasonable effort to make known to persons who may be affected by it a rule made effective before any date established by subsection (1) of this section.
This section does not relieve an agency from compliance with any provision of law requiring that some or all of its rules be approved by other designated officials or bodies before they become effective.
