Practice question
A Commission en banc adopts a rule for filing a statutory monetary claim. The rule does more than regulate forms or deadlines: it abolishes the substantive entitlement that the statute grants, without any amendment of the statute. The Commission says its rulemaking independence is sufficient authority. Which conclusion is strongest?
- The rule is valid because independence permits repeal of every law.
- The rule is valid only if printed in two fonts.
- The rule violates the substantive-rights limit on the Commission's procedural rulemaking.
- The rule is invalid because a Commission can never make procedural rules.
- The rule is valid if the claimant was not consulted.
