Bill > HB2563

This bill modifies the duties of the secretary of state in relation to administrative rules, specifically expanding the secretary of state's authority to make changes to the Code of State Regulations (CSR). Under the revised law, the secretary of state can now make nonsubstantive updates to the CSR when requested by a state agency, including changes to department or division names, state agency contact information (such as addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and website addresses), and intersectional references. The bill also clarifies that copies of the Missouri Register or Code of State Regulations can be made available to the public for a reasonable charge not exceeding the actual cost of publishing and delivery, with all fees collected being deposited into general revenue. Additionally, the secretary of state is now explicitly authorized to correct typographical or spelling errors, including intersectional references, in the publication of rules, proposed rulemaking notices, and rulemaking orders. These changes aim to streamline administrative record-keeping and improve the accuracy and accessibility of state regulatory information.
