DDOE, PSB, SBE and DIAA welcome public comment regarding proposed regulations. All public comments will be considered to determine if a regulation should be adopted, amended or repealed. Public comments may only be submitted during the open comment period (a minimum of 30 days after the proposal is published in the Register of Regulations). Persons wishing to present their views on proposed regulations may do so by the close of business on or before the date noted in the proposed regulation.
