Bill > SB77

This bill modifies administrative rules and regulations procedures for state agencies in Kansas, focusing on two key changes. First, when a state agency wants to revoke a rule or regulation, it must now provide written notice to businesses, local governmental units, and members of the public who would be affected by the proposed revocation, and must hold a public hearing if requested. Second, the bill removes several abolished or inactive state agencies from the mandatory five-year agency review requirement, streamlining the review process by eliminating agencies that no longer exist or are not actively creating or maintaining regulations. The bill requires state agencies to continue submitting reports to the joint committee on administrative rules and regulations, explaining which of their existing rules are necessary for implementing state law and which might be candidates for revocation. By making these modifications, the bill aims to improve transparency in the rule-making process and reduce administrative bureaucracy by removing outdated agency review requirements.
