No later than January 1, 2018, the attorney general shall adopt default procedural rules for public rule hearings for use by agencies that have not adopted their own procedural rules consistent with the State Rules Act. Each agency may adopt its own procedural rules, or continue in effect existing rules, which shall provide at least as much opportunity for participation by parties and members of the public as is provided in the procedural rules adopted by the attorney general. An agency that adopts its own procedural rules shall send a copy of those procedural rules to the attorney general and shall maintain those procedural rules on the agency's website.
