Question

Congress adopted a law to provide insurance to protect wheat farmers. The agency in charge of the program adopted regulations to govern applications for this insurance. These regulations were published in the Federal Register. Mary applied for insurance but his application did not comply with the regulations. She claimed she was not bound by the regulations because she never knew they had been adopted. Is she bound by the regulations?

Answer 1

Answer:

She is bound by the regulations.

Explanation:

It is Mary's duty to know if the insurance regulations published in the Federal Register have been adopted by Congress.  The purpose of using the Federal Register is to inform US citizens of all pending legislations.  The publication in the Federal Register is, therefore, considered as a sufficient legal requirement for compliance with public notices.
