    The court's review should be limited to whether, under the three-pronged Dykstra/Luttrell test, the rules are "`reasonable'" or bear a "`rational relationship'" to the underlying act.

    In Thomas Bros, Inc v Secretary of State, 90 Mich. App. 179, 185-186; 282 N.W.2d 273 (1979), after remand 107 Mich. App. 805; 310 N.W.2d 249 (1984), this Court utilized the three-part test stated in Blank to determine the substantive validity of emergency rules.

    If there is any doubt as to the invalidity of a rule in this regard, the rule must be upheld.

  5. Dentistry Board v. Blumer

    78 Mich. App. 679 (Mich. Ct. App. 1977)   Cited 14 times
    In Blumer, the Court held that the standard of "dishonorable and unprofessional conduct in the practice of dentistry" gave the Board of Dentistry unfettered discretion to determine what conduct would be proscribed.

    The board is given no standards by which to judge a practitioner's conduct and we are directed to no administratively promulgated rules creating such standards. See Toole v State Board of Dentistry, 306 Mich. 527; 11 N.W.2d 229 (1943). Cf. Sanchick v State Board of Optometry, 342 Mich. 555; 70 N.W.2d 757 (1955).

    In Department of Natural Resources v Seaman, 53 Mich. App. 192; 218 N.W.2d 813 (1974), our Court upheld the constitutionality of a statute, MCLA 308.1b(1); MSA 13.1491(2)(1), giving the Commission of Natural Resources power to limit the number of fishing licenses when in its opinion "it is necessary for the better protection, preservation, management, harvesting and utilization of the fisheries".

    "`It is too well settled to need the citation of supporting authorities that the legislature, within limits defined in the law, may confer authority on an administrative officer or board to make rules as to details, to find facts, and to exercise some discretion, in the administration of a statute'. "See, also, Warnshuis v State Board of Registration in Medicine, 285 Mich. 699 [ 281 N.W. 410 (1938)]; Toole v Michigan State Board of Dentistry, 306 Mich. 527 [ 11 N.W.2d 229 (1943)]; Ranke v Corporation Securities Commission, 317 Mich. 304 [ 26 N.W.2d 898 (1947)].

  8. Mikelsavage v. City of Detroit

    343 Mich. 566 (Mich. 1955)   Cited 3 times

    We have upheld a delegation of power by the legislature to determine facts or the state of things upon which the applicability of the law depends, as well as the exercise of some discretion. Tribbett v. Village of Marcellus, 294 Mich. 607; Toole v. Michigan State Board of Dentistry, 306 Mich. 527; Milk Marketing Board v. Johnson, 295 Mich. 644. It is generally held that a delegation by a municipality is proper where it concerns ministerial or administrative duties as opposed to purely legislative or discretionary acts.

  10. Coffman v. State Bd. of Examiners

    331 Mich. 582 (Mich. 1951)   Cited 50 times
    Explaining that an administrative agency cannot "enlarge its authority or exceed the powers given to it by the statute, the source of its power"

    "`It is too well settled to need the citation of supporting authorities that the legislature, within limits defined in the law, may confer authority on an administrative officer or board to make rules as to details, to find facts, and to exercise some discretion, in the administration of a statute.' "See, also, Warnshuis v. State Board of Registration in Medicine, 285 Mich. 699; Toole v. Michigan State Board of Dentistry, 306 Mich. 527; Ranke v. Corporation Securities Commission, 317 Mich. 304." While the function of setting professional school standards and rating the schools accordingly was expressly intrusted to the international association of boards of examiners in optometry by the legislature, which for reasons heretofore mentioned we hold unconstitutional, yet it does indicate legislative intention to set up minimum standards as a guide to the board.
