The Office of the Secretary of State has prepared the following tools to assist agencies in the APA process:

• Submit Filings Electronically
• Use our Publication Calculator to determine when to schedule hearings based on APA timelines.
• Filing Administrative Rules - an overview of the rulemaking process.
• APA Flowchart - a simple flowchart of the rulemaking process.
• Timeline - the dates established by statute that govern the APA process (includes the statutory references).
• Rules at a Glance - a checklist of the required components for each filing. Please make sure to check the instructions for each filing for more detailed information.
• Frequently Asked Questions - a list of frequently asked questions and the answers.
