Office of Regulatory Reinvention

ORR Logo

Welcome
Michigan citizens and businesses deserve a regulatory system that lets them do what they do best: create jobs and grow. Accordingly, the mission of the Office of Regulatory Reinvention (ORR) is to simplify Michigan's regulatory environment by reducing obsolete, unnecessary and burdensome rules that are limiting economic growth. The Office of Regulatory Reinvention is dedicated to working with all citizens to further that mission.

In addition, the ORR will continue to take steps to make the rule-making process more "citizen friendly" and accessible. The ORR website allows easy access to the rule-making process and provides continuously updated information on the status of current and proposed administrative rules. The site is used by citizens, students, and professionals from around the state and around the globe. ORR publishes the state's three administrative rule periodicals: the Michigan Register, the Michigan Administrative Code and the Annual Administrative Code Supplement. All are available free of charge on the website.

History of ORR

The ORR was created by Governor Rick Snyder through Executive Order 2011-5. The ORR has been empowered with all administrative rule-making authority previously held by the State Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules, which itself was the successor to the Office of Regulatory Reform. The Office of Regulatory Reform was created through EO 1995-6, later codified in 1999 PA 262, as an agency charged with the duty to "review proposed rules, coordinate the processing of rules by state agencies and work with agencies to streamline the rulemaking process and to improve public access." EO 2000-1 transferred the Office of Regulatory Reform to the Executive Office by a Type I transfer defined in MCL 16.103. EO 2002-11 then transferred the Office of Regulatory Reform to the Department of Management and Budget, effective September 1, 2002. EO 2005-1 completed the process of creating a "Central Panel" or central agency to handle administrative hearings and the rule promulgation process, when it created the State Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules.

Proud of our past and energized about our future, everyone at the ORR looks forward to serving you by reinventing Michigan's regulatory environment and providing easy access to your government's administrative process.
