Section 100. Legislative intent  


Latest version.
  • The legislature hereby finds and declares
      that the administrative rulemaking, adjudicatory and licensing processes
      among the agencies of state government are inconsistent, lack uniformity
      and create misunderstanding by the  public.  In  order  to  provide  the
      people with simple, uniform administrative procedures, an administrative
      procedure act is hereby enacted. This act guarantees that the actions of
      administrative  agencies  conform with sound standards developed in this
      state and nation since their founding through constitutional,  statutory
      and  case  law.  It insures that equitable practices will be provided to
      meet the public interest.
        It is further found that in the public interest it  is  desirable  for
      state  agencies  to  meet the requirements imposed by the administrative
      procedure act.  Those agencies which will not have to  conform  to  this
      act  have  been  exempted  from  the act, either specifically by name or
      impliedly by definition.
