General Research Guidelines: The approach to researching District of Columbia rules and regulations may differ depending on whether the document was adopted prior to March 6, 1979 or after March 6, 1979. The research guidelines include a cross reference table indicating the DCMR location of the Police Regulations adopted by the Commissioner and/or Board of Commissioners. You may also find the text of the District of Columbia Administrative Procedure Act.
D.C. Regulatory Reform: The push for regulatory reform has arrived in the District. Most efforts have overlooked the rulemaking process. At least one paper reviews the rulemaking process in the District with a view toward reform: Regulatory Reform in the District of Columbia: A Proposed Revision of Administrative Rulemaking Reform.
