Independent Regulatory Review Commission - The commission, established in 1982 by the Legislature, is a nonpartisan body that reviews proposed rulemakings, final rulemakings and final omitted rulemakings submitted by all state agencies except the Game Commission and the Fish and Boat Commission. The five-member commission is charged with ensuring regulations meet specific criteria established under the Regulatory Review Act (71 P.S. ยงยง745.1-745.15).
Proposed and Final Form Regulations - Regulations are designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or to describe the organization, procedure, or practice requirements of an agency, including the amendment, repeal or suspension of an existing regulation. A regulation has the force of law and is binding on both the agency and anyone affected by the rule.
Disclaimer - The proposed and final form regulations are furnished as a courtesy by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. The provided links are to the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The Pennsylvania Bulletin is the commonwealth's official gazette for information and rulemaking. For more information on the commonwealth's regulatory process please visit the Independent Regulatory Review Commission's website.
Submission of Comments - Written comments on the proposed rulemakings should be sent within 30 days of the publication date to Peter J. Salvatore, Regulatory Coordinator, Pennsylvania Insurance Department, 1326 Strawberry Square, Harrisburg, PA 17120. Comments also may be faxed to (717) 772-1969 or e-mailed to psalvatore@pa.gov.
