BLAW 3201 Final: Chapter 5 Test Bank
Document Summary
Legislative rules by an administrative agency do not have the full force of law. Administrative agencies must, within one year of their creation, make records available by electronic means. Decisions made by an administrative body can be appealed. Administrative agencies establish rules, and then act as both prosecutor and judge in determining whether the rules have been violated. An administrative agency is created when congress enacts an enabling statute that delegates to the agency the power to issue rules, regulations, and guidelines to carry out its statutory mandate. Congress appoints and removes the chief administrators of federal administrative. A statute may preclude judicial review of an agency action. Interpretative rules are exempt from the apa"s procedural requirements of notice and comment. Enabling statutes may not impose more stringent procedural requirements for promulgating legislative rules than those found in the apa. Notice of a proposed rule may be given by publication in the federal register.
