Rulemaking Manual  
Prepared by the Office of the Secretary of State 
November 2001 
The Arizona Rulemaking Manual was developed in 1995 as a guide for state agencies when making, amending, or repealing rules. The Office of the Secretary of State, in conjunction with the State Agency Rulewriters' Consortium, has updated the manual for 2001 to reflect changes in statutes, rules, and rulewriting style. As sections are amended in the future, supplements to this manual will be available in paper copy and on the Secretary of State's web site.

The Rulewriters' Consortium meets on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss legislative and administrative rulemaking issues. Meetings are open to any interested party. Meeting dates and locations are e-mailed to members of the Consortium. For more information about Consortium meetings or this manual, contact the Secretary of State's Office at (602) 542-4751 or email us at pubs@azsos.gov.
