(b) The guidelines adopted under this section shall also include procedures for the board to receive comments on rules recommended by the physician assistant board or acupuncture board for adoption by the board. (c) A rule adopted by the board may not be challenged on the grounds that the board did not comply with this section. If the board was unable to solicit a significant amount of input from the public or affected persons early in the rulemaking process, the board shall state in writing the reasons why the board was unable to do so.
