Bill > SB1184

This bill requires state agencies to obtain general assembly approval for proposed administrative rules that would result in expenditures or income reductions exceeding $250,000 per year. Specifically, the bill mandates that any agency proposing such a rule must file notification with the joint committee on administrative rules and cannot file a final order of rulemaking with the secretary of state until at least 30 days after the committee receives the proposed rule. Moreover, the proposed rule cannot become effective until the general assembly adopts a concurrent resolution approving it, as outlined in the Missouri Constitution. The bill also introduces a new requirement that state agencies must obtain written approval from the governor before filing any notice of proposed rulemaking with the secretary of state. Exceptions are made for rules required to conform with federal law or secure federal funding. This legislation aims to provide additional legislative oversight of significant administrative rules by giving the general assembly the power to review and approve rules with substantial fiscal implications before they can be implemented.
