Before the Commission may add or make changes to its existing rules, it must follow the formal rulemaking process. By doing so, it ensures the opportunity for public comment and allows the issues at hand to be fully vetted. To find out more about the rulemaking process, click here.

Emergency Rules
Emergency rules are sometimes needed either to address an emergency under Ind. Code ยง 8-1-2-113 (emergency alteration, amendment, or suspension of rates or services) or as required by a new statute. The emergency rule process is greatly truncated, and the rule normally expires within 90 to 180 days, unless the Indiana General Assembly granted that the rule doesn't expire until superseded. Emergency rules generally function as place holders until a formal rulemaking process can occur.
