Governs agency rulemaking and contested cases. Rulemaking requires notice in the NY State Register, public comment period, regulatory impact statement, and regulatory flexibility analysis.

New York's distinctive vehicle for challenging agency action. Combines the common-law writs of mandamus, prohibition, and certiorari. Standard: arbitrary and capricious, error of law, or lack of substantial evidence.

Official publication of proposed and adopted agency rules. Published weekly.

New York does not have a single centralized administrative hearings body (unlike NJ). Major hearing programs are at Workers' Compensation Board, DMV Traffic Violations Bureau, State Liquor Authority, Public Service Commission, and others.
