Rulemaking


What Is a Rule and How Are Rules Made?

An administrative rule is a general statement adopted by an agency to make the law it enforces or administers more specific or to govern the agency's organization or procedure.

An agency may adopt a rule only after the legislature has enacted a law granting this authority to the agency. An agency rule that is adopted under the rulemaking provisions of MN Statutes, Chapter 14, has the force and effect of law.

Notice of Proposed and Completed Rule Changes

Previously Completed Rulemaking Docket

In the July 21, 2025, issue of the State Register, the Board published Proposed Expedited Permanent Rules Governing Education and Experience Requirements for a Certificate and Requirements for Interstate Mobility, Minnesota Rules, 1105.1500, 1105.2600, 1105.2900, 1105.3800, 1105.7900; Revisor’s ID Number RD4940

The purpose of the rulemaking project is to conform to recent changes to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 326A, concerning requirements for initial licensure and interstate mobility. This rulemaking will potentially affect individuals preparing for initial CPA licensure and licensed CPAs from other states who seek practice privileges in Minnesota.

These rules were adopted on December 12, 2025, and became effective on February 14, 2026.

For the authoritative version of Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1105, see the Revisor's website.
