Practice question
An issuance called software instructions programs mandatory denial of every public benefit application unless a new legal condition is met. Officials admit the condition binds the public but say computer implementation makes the document purely internal. Which is correct?
- Any computer instruction is exempt from every administrative rule requirement.
- Its admitted binding public condition must be assessed as an external regulatory effect rather than ignored because of the implementation format.
- A computer may amend the statute without delegation.
- Only paper forms can impose duties.
- Every program is automatically a court judgment.
