Bill > HF895

This bill modifies Minnesota's administrative rulemaking process by requiring legislative approval for the adoption of new rules. Specifically, the bill amends several sections of state statutes to introduce a new requirement that rules published in the State Register must also be approved by a subsequent law enacted by the legislature before they can take effect. Currently, rules become effective upon publication in the State Register, but under this new legislation, an additional step of legislative review and approval is mandated. The bill applies to rules for which a notice of adoption is published on or after the effective date of the act. This change would give the legislature more direct oversight of administrative rulemaking, allowing them to review and potentially block rules proposed by state agencies before those rules can be implemented. The amendments affect sections related to rule adoption, publication, and effective dates, ensuring that no administrative rule can become law without explicit legislative consent.
