“G.S. 150B-21.3A requires all agencies to conduct a review of that agency’s rules every ten years, determining whether each rule is necessary or unnecessary. Agencies must post a report issued by the Commission on the agency’s website to invite public comments for at least 60 days on the determinations.” (via OAH – Overview of the Review Process)

Pursuant to G.S. 150B-21.3A, the NCICLB has posted an initial determination report for 21 NCAC 23 – Irrigation Contractors’ Licensing Board. As required, the NCICLB has evaluated the existing rules and classified each rule as either:

• Necessary – Means any rule other than an unnecessary rule.
• Unnecessary – Means a rule that the agency determines to be obsolete, redundant, or otherwise not needed.
