Bill > SJRB

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution that would require legislative approval for administrative agency rules or regulations with estimated compliance costs of $1,000,000 or more within five years of implementation. Specifically, such rules would only take effect if the legislature adopts a concurrent resolution approving them by a majority vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives. The resolution also maintains an existing provision allowing the legislature to empower a joint committee to suspend administrative rules between legislative sessions, with such suspension lasting no longer than the next regular legislative session. The proposed constitutional amendment would provide the legislature with greater oversight of administrative rulemaking, particularly for regulations that have significant financial implications for businesses and individuals in the state. If approved, the amendment would be submitted to voters at the next general election for final ratification.
