Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 49, § 965. Filing; taking effect of rules

A. No rule adopted is valid unless adopted in substantial compliance with this Chapter. Each rulemaking agency shall file a certified copy of its rules with the office of the state register. No rule shall be effective, nor may it be enforced, unless it has been properly filed with the office of the state register. No rule adopted shall be effective, nor may it be enforced, unless prior to its adoption a report relative to the proposed rule change is submitted to the appropriate standing committee of the legislature or to the presiding officers of the respective houses as provided in R.S. 49:966. No rule shall be effective, nor may it be enforced, unless the approved economic and fiscal impact statements, as provided in R.S. 49:961, have been filed with the office of the state register and published in the Louisiana Register. The inadvertent failure to mail notice and statements to persons making request for such mail notice, as provided in R.S. 49:961, shall not invalidate any rule adopted hereunder. A proceeding under R.S. 49:968 to contest any rule on the grounds of noncompliance with the procedures for adoption, as given in this Chapter, must be commenced within two years from the date upon which the rule became effective.
