Bill Summary

Requires the general assembly to approve proposed administrative rules

AI Summary

This bill requires that proposed administrative rules, which are regulations created by state agencies to implement laws, must be approved by the General Assembly (the state legislature) before they can become effective, with some exceptions. Specifically, if a proposed rule is estimated to cost state agencies, political subdivisions (like counties or cities), individuals, or businesses more than $250,000 per year, or result in a reduction of income for individuals or businesses by that amount, it must be submitted to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. The bill mandates that such rules cannot be finalized and filed with the Secretary of State until at least 30 days after the committee receives them, and crucially, they will not become effective unless the General Assembly passes a concurrent resolution, a formal expression of opinion or will by both houses of the legislature, to approve the rule. This approval process also involves the Governor's signature or the legislature overriding a veto. The bill also states that proposed rules, unless they are for specific emergency situations or to comply with federal law, will be invalid if not followed according to these new procedures, and agencies must obtain written approval from the Governor before filing any notice of proposed rulemaking.
