September 29, 2017

On behalf of the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board (IEERB), I am submitting this notice in compliance with IC 4-22-2-19, which requires an agency to begin the rulemaking process not later than 60 days after the effective date of the statutes that authorize the rule, unless a notice is filed with the Publisher that includes the reasons for the noncompliance.

The statutory authority for rulemaking that allows the IEERB to amend 560 IAC 2 is found in IC 20-28-9-1.5, IC 20-29-2, IC 20-29-3-11, IC 20-29-5, IC 20-29-6-6.1, and IC 20-29-8.

The IEERB was unable to begin the rulemaking process within 60 days of the authorizing statutes due to extended deliberations.

The IEERB initiated the rulemaking process by publishing its Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule in the Indiana Register on October 4, 2017 (DIN: 20171004-IR-560170443NIA).
