What is RIS?

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 (e.g., State Corporation Commission, universities, etc.) submit projects directly from RIS.

Through the use of the Regulation Information System, the Virginia Administrative Code is updated daily, thus RIS provides the citizens of the Commonwealth with an always current Virginia Administrative Code.
