AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the rules and regulations filing process in Kansas. It creates an exception for "technical amendments," which are minor, non-substantive changes like updating contact information or correcting spelling errors, allowing these to be approved quickly by the Department of Administration. The bill also establishes a process for certain rules and regulations to receive "priority status," meaning they will be processed faster than others, particularly if mandated by the legislature. It removes outdated references to the "revival of rules and regulations" and clarifies that the Department of Budget does not need to approve rules and regulations that are required by federal law. Additionally, the bill explicitly states that certain rules and regulations from the Department of Corrections are not subject to the standard filing act, and it updates various existing statutes related to the filing and review of administrative rules and regulations.
