Committee member warns readoption deadlines may force rushed rule review
Summary
Committee member Michael Ellison expressed concern the statutory readoption timeline can box the committee into tight schedules that prevent a thorough review of older rules; the committee nonetheless voted to proceed to the EMC.
During discussion on the readoption request, committee member Michael Ellison asked that the committee consider whether statutory deadlines were constraining a careful review of longstanding rules. Ellison said the readoption process is intended to prompt a fresh look at rules, but tight schedules can "inhibit our thorough evaluation of the rules."
Ellison asked for discussion of the motion and emphasized the need for enough time to reassess decades-old rules and fee schedules rather than defaulting to readoption because of calendar pressures. No formal amendment or delay motion was offered; after brief discussion the committee proceeded to a roll-call vote and authorized staff to submit the materials to the EMC.
