§ 100. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares
that the administrative rulemaking, adjudicatory and licensing processes
among the agencies of state government are inconsistent, lack uniformity
and create misunderstanding by the public. In order to provide the
people with simple, uniform administrative procedures, an administrative
procedure act is hereby enacted. This act guarantees that the actions of
administrative agencies conform with sound standards developed in this
state and nation since their founding through constitutional, statutory
and case law. It insures that equitable practices will be provided to
meet the public interest.

It is further found that in the public interest it is desirable for
state agencies to meet the requirements imposed by the administrative
procedure act. Those agencies which will not have to conform to this
act have been exempted from the act, either specifically by name or
impliedly by definition.
