Sec. 23.1. (a) This section and section 19(b) of this chapter do not apply to rules adopted under IC 4-22-2-37.1.
(b) Before or after an agency notifies the public of its intention to adopt a rule under section 24 of this chapter, the agency may solicit comments from all or any segment of the public on the need for a rule, the drafting of a rule, or any other subject related to a rulemaking action. The procedures that the agency may use include the holding of conferences and the inviting of written suggestions, facts, arguments, or views. An agency's failure to consider comments received under this section does not invalidate a rule subsequently adopted.
