The administrative law judge must review and approve or disapprove the agency's determination. "Local government" means a town, county, or home rule charter or statutory city.

(1) the next July 1 or January 1 after notice of final adoption is published in the State Register; or
(2) a later date provided by law or specified in the proposed rule.
Subd. 3.Exceptions.

(1) to a rule adopted under section 14.388, 14.389, or 14.3895, or under another law specifying that the rulemaking procedures of this chapter do not apply;
(2) if the agency has been directed by law to adopt the rule or to commence the rulemaking process;
(3) if the administrative law judge approves an agency's determination that the rule has been proposed pursuant to a specific federal statutory or regulatory mandate that requires the rule to take effect before the date specified in subdivision 1; or
