(a) After a complete request is submitted the LPC will take the following steps to process and review: (1) Acknowledge receipt of the request within 10 business days; and (2) Within 60 business days from the date the complete request was received, the Chair of the Commission will: (i) Deny the request. The reasons for the denial will be set forth in writing; or (ii) Grant the request. If the request is granted, the Chair will explain in writing the intention to initiate rulemaking by a specified date. The Chair is not required to initiate rulemaking on the entirety of a request or to follow the wording of a request that has been granted. Granting of the request shall only require the Chair to ask the Commissioners to vote to calendar the proposed rule, as proposed by the Chair, and, if there is a positive vote to calendar, for the Commission to hold a public hearing on the proposed rule. Granting of the request does not guarantee that the requested rule will in fact be calendared or approved and adopted by the Commissioners. (Added City Record 7/20/2023, eff. 8/19/2023)
