Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to requiring the approval of the legislature for certain proposed rule changes

AI Summary

This bill amends the state administrative procedure act to require legislative approval for certain proposed rule changes that have significant impacts on residents or state institutions. Specifically, the bill mandates that proposed rules must be approved by both the assembly and senate before they can be implemented if they involve civil or criminal penalties, impact municipal or school district fiscal responsibilities, create new costs for state residents (such as tuition, hunting license fees, or DMV fees), or modify education curriculum. The approval process requires a simple majority vote in both legislative chambers. The bill also includes provisions for emergency situations, allowing temporary rule implementation during urgent circumstances, and provides a mechanism for temporary approval when the legislature is not in session. The legislative leaders from both the assembly and senate must be notified and involved in the review process. This legislation aims to increase legislative oversight of administrative rulemaking and ensure that significant regulatory changes receive direct scrutiny from elected representatives before being enacted.
