Prior to the prefiling by the Standards Board of a licensing standard or procedure proposed for rulemaking pursuant to 3 V.S.A. § 820, the Secretary may object to it before the State Board on the grounds that it would have significant adverse financial or operational impact on the public school system. If the State Board agrees, it may remand the proposed rule to the Standards Board for further deliberations consistent with its written decision. The Secretary may also object on the same grounds to a substantive change to a proposed rule, once initiated, before a final proposal is filed pursuant to 3 V.S.A. § 841.
