How to Determine the Number of Session Days Left for JCAR Review of Rules**

Under MCL 24.245a, the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules generally has 15 session days to act on a set of rules submitted to the committee. To determine when that time will expire for a set of rules that you are interested in, do the following:

1. Determine the date the rules were submitted to JCAR.

2. Determine how many session days there have been since then. A session day is defined in MCL 24.245a(13) as a day in which both houses of the legislature convene and record a quorum. You can determine this yourself by checking the journals here: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(ytvtdvrcvcc43eqxgk1prllj))/mileg.aspx?page=Journals (You may have to go to the bottom of the page and look at the appropriate journals from each house for the applicable time period.)

If 15 session days have passed and JCAR has not taken up the rules, the rules are probably no longer before JCAR, and have been or will soon be submitted to the Secretary of State and take effect.

Please note that under MCL 24.245a(12), a rule pending before the committee at the final adjournment of a regular session held in an even-numbered year must be withdrawn and resubmitted to the committee during the next session, at which point a new and untolled 15-session-day period begins.

Below is our list of days this session* on which both houses have convened and recorded a quorum. Please note that this is not an official list. We have done our best to prepare an accurate list, and we will attempt to update it regularly. If you see any mistakes, please let us know.
