Why would a federal agency release a proposed rulemaking right after a senate committee releases a draft discussion bill
Hello ****, this usually happens when a federal agency wants to assert its regulatory authority or influence the legislation. It's a way to provide their input or alternative to the proposed changes. This isn't specific to New Hampshire but a common practice in federal government.
So basically it is them trying to change the regulation so the act does not have to be passed?
Yes, ****, you're correct. The federal agency might be proposing changes to the rules as an alternative to the act being passed. It's a way for the agency to assert its authority and influence the process.
Lit, thanks!
