Bill > HB2245

This bill modifies existing Missouri state law by establishing a new requirement for state agencies, departments, commissions, and boards when creating new rules. Currently, the law specifies conditions under which a rule would be considered invalid, such as lacking statutory authority, conflicting with state law, or being arbitrarily burdensome. The bill adds a new provision that mandates any state agency proposing a new rule must simultaneously repeal at least two existing rules. This "two-for-one" regulatory approach is designed to reduce regulatory burden by ensuring that for every new rule introduced, two older rules are eliminated, potentially streamlining bureaucratic processes and reducing the overall volume of regulations. The bill applies to all state departments, agencies, commissions, and boards, and aims to create a more efficient regulatory environment by forcing agencies to critically evaluate their existing rules before adding new ones.
