What is one requirement for a proposed regulation under COMAR?

A fundamental requirement for a proposed regulation under the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) is that it must be published in the Maryland Register. This publication serves multiple important purposes: it informs the public of the proposed regulation, ensures transparency in the regulatory process, and provides an opportunity for public comment and feedback. By being published in the Maryland Register, the regulation enters into the public domain, allowing stakeholders and interested parties to review its contents, understand its implications, and engage with the regulatory process. This step is essential for fostering a democratic process in rule-making and ensuring that the voices of those affected can be heard prior to finalizing the regulation.

The other options may have their own respective requirements, but publication in the Maryland Register is a core component of the regulatory process as mandated by COMAR.
