What is RIS 2.0?
The Regulation Information System (RIS) is a web-enabled application for agencies to file regulations and related items with the Virginia Registrar of Regulations for publication in the
Virginia Register of Regulations
. RIS is linked with the
Virginia Regulatory Town Hall
to facilitate the process agencies use for filing regulatory actions with Town Hall for executive branch review and then filing such actions with the Registrar's office for publication in the
Virginia Register
. Agencies that do not file through Town Hall submit regulatory actions directly through RIS to the Registrar's Office for publication. RIS was originally implemented in 2007. A new version, RIS 2.0, was implemented on November 2, 2020.
The
Virginia Administrative Code
is current through daily updates enabled by RIS 2.0.
