So much for opt-in?

By Karl R. Keys, Esq.

The Bush Administrations proposed regulations governing opt-in have been enjoined, at least for now: For the reasons stated in open court, Defendants are temporarily restrained and enjoined from making effective the rule entitled ?Certification Process for State Capital Counsel Systems,? published at 73 Fed. Reg. 75,327 (Dec. 11, 2008), without first providing an additional comment period of at least thirty days and publishing  a response to any comments received during such period. This temporary restraining order will remain in effect until January 22, 2009, unless it is first superseded by a preliminary injunction. The new administration will now have the opportunity to determine whether these “Opt-in regs”as proposed by the Bush DoJ will go into effect or not.continue to full post
