Bill Summary

An Act relating to state agency rules; amending Section 6, Chapter 357, O.S.L. 2013 (75 O.S. Supp. 2018, Section 308.3), which relates to the Administrative Procedures Act; modifying duty of Legislature to have certain resolution prepared and modifying contents thereof; specifying requirements for such resolutions; authorizing repeal or amendment of certain rules; modifying procedures for approval of certain rules; and declaring an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act to change the Legislature's duty to prepare a joint resolution approving or disapproving proposed permanent rules from state agencies. The key changes are: 1) The Legislature "may" (instead of "shall") have an omnibus joint resolution prepared each session to approve or disapprove proposed rules. 2) The joint resolution will now disapprove (instead of approve) proposed rules, unless specifically exempted. 3) The deadline for agency rules to be included in the joint resolution is changed from April 1 to February 1. 4) The bill allows the Governor to declare agency rules approved if the joint resolution fails to pass or has a non-substantive error. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
