Rulemaking Authority of North Carolina Local Boards of Health

About This Training

Newly updated in 2021!

This is a four-section training series developed to introduce board of health members to the basic concepts of their rulemaking authority.

This online training is designed to explain rulemaking authority as it applies to a local board of health, including the board’s general authority to make rules, limitations on this authority, and procedural requirements that North Carolina law imposes on the rulemaking process. The training may be accessed as needed for “just-in-time” training when boards are actively engaged in rulemaking or used towards meeting requirements for ongoing training for board of health members.
