Rulemaking Archives

The following CIWMB rulemaking files have been approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) or suspended/terminated before completion of the rulemaking process. These files contain the more important rulemaking documents, such as the Text of Proposed Regulations, Notice of Rulemaking, Initial and Final Statements of Reasons (ISOR/FSOR), Plain English Summary, Responses to Comments, and Final Text of Approved Regulations. They also include information about stakeholder input (workshops, comment periods, etc.). Note that not all of the documents for older rulemakings are available in electronic media.

These rulemaking files are listed by the year of their approval by OAL (or suspension/termination of rulemaking). Select a year below to view the list of rulemaking files approved that year.

These are unofficial rulemaking files. There may be slight differences from the final text of the regulations approved by OAL. You can review all current regulations of the CIWMB at its regulations website, or on the OAL website.
