Periodic Review of Rules
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.3A, adopted in 2013 and revised in July 2019 by Session Law 2019-140, requires state agencies to review existing rules every 10 years according to a schedule set by the Rules Review Commission. The NC Office of State Human Resources’ rules are located in Title 25 of the NC Administrative Code.
During the period of rules review, state agencies are required to evaluate each of the existing rules and make an initial determination from either two classifications:
- Unnecessary – the agency determines that the rule is obsolete, redundant or otherwise not needed.
- Necessary – the agency determines that the rule is any rule other than an unnecessary rule.
Once initial determinations are made, a report is issued by the Rules Review Commission and public comments are accepted for at least 60 days, providing an opportunity for public feedback on the agency classifications of existing rules.
Notice is hereby given in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.2 and G.S. 150B-21.3A(c)(2)g. that the State Human Resources Commission intends to amend the rules cited as 25 NCAC 01E .0309, .1302- .1306, .1901-.1910, repeal the rules cited as 25 NCAC 01E .0101, .0103, .0203- .0208, .0210- .0212, .0216, .0301- .0305, .0308, .0311, .0312, .0314, .0315, .0317, .0704, .0705, .0707, .0802, .0804, .0805, .0809, .0817, .0818, .0820, .0821, .0901- .0905, .0907- .0909, .1001, .1002, .1004- .1006, .1009- .1011, .1101- .1105, .1110, .1111, .1401, .1402, .1404, .1406, .1407, .1412, .1601- .1605, .1607, .1801-.1809, readopt with substantive changes the rules cited as 25 NCAC 01B .0201, .0213, and repeal through readoption the rules cited as 25 NCAC 01A .0103, .0104, .0106; 01B .0204, .0205, .0208, .0214-.0217; 01C .0215, .0401, .0402, .0405, .0501-.0504, .0507, .0701-.0703, .0801, .0802, .0813, .0901, and .1001-.1008.

Subject: Rules Comment
Please include the rule citation that your comment concerns. (ex: 25 NCAC 01F, 01H, 01I and/or 01J)
A “public comment” is defined by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.3A(a)(5) as a written comment objecting to the rule, in whole or in part, or objecting to an agency’s determination of the rule as necessary or unnecessary, received by an agency from any member of the public. Additionally, for the Rules Review Commission to determine whether a public comment has merit, the public comment must address the specific substance of the rule and address any of the standards of Commission review, as set forth in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-21.9(a).
