Notes of Decision

Prisoner alleged bulletin authorizing Department of Correction (DOC) employees to confiscate UCC filing documents mailed to inmate was invalid since DOC failed to comply with Commonwealth Documents Law and Regulatory Review Act (RRA) requirements for adopting regulations; bulletins are not regulations for purposes of Documents Law or RRA and represent agency decisions that are inherently committed to agency’s sound discretion that cannot reasonably be subjected to the ‘‘normal public participation process.’’ Bundy v. Beard, 924 A.2d 723, 727—728 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2007)
