Nebraska Administrative Code Topic - ATTORNEY GENERAL
Here’s a detailed summary of the Nebraska Administrative Code under the topic “ATTORNEY GENERAL”:
📘 Title 53 – Model Rules of Agency Procedure
These are the standard rules the Nebraska Attorney General issues for administrative agencies to use:
Chapter 1 – Model Procedures for Negotiated Rulemaking
Chapter 2 – Petitioning for Rulemaking
Chapter 3 – Declaratory Orders – Agency Regulations and Procedures
Chapter 4 – Rules of Practice & Procedure for Hearings in Contested Cases
(regulations.justia.com)
These procedural chapters serve as templates for many state agencies and are adopted by reference across the administrative code—for instance, the Board of Geologists formally incorporates these into its own regulations (law.cornell.edu).
📄 Statutory Basis & Oversight
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84‑905.01 requires all agencies to submit final proposed rules and regulations to the Attorney General for review on statutory authority and constitutionality before filing (dhhs.ne.gov).
Agencies adopt these model rules—and the Att’y General’s oversight—into their regulations (e.g., Geologists Board uses Title 53 Chapters 1–4) (law.cornell.edu).
