Answer - Option (D) - Model State Administrative Procedure Act
Explanation: The Model State Administrative Procedure Act (MSAPA) was first enforced by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) in the year 1946 and has been revised three times since then, in the years 1961, 1981 and 2010 respectively. The initial objective of the MSAPA act was to oversight and control the functioning of the state agencies. The initial act of 1946 has been revised at regular intervals to keep it updated with the changing administrative laws both at the state and federal levels. The latest revision done in the act in 2010 was due to the emergence of the internet that didn’t existed during previous revisions.
