This bill creates new requirements for state agencies when proposing, adopting, amending or repealing rules. It defines key terms like "agency," "person," "proceeding," "proposed rule," and "rule." The bill outlines procedures for agencies to follow, including providing public notice and comment periods, holding public hearings, maintaining a rulemaking record, and issuing a concise explanatory statement. It also establishes emergency rule provisions, addresses conflicts between rules and statutes, and requires the Attorney General to adopt default procedural rules for public hearings. The bill aims to enhance transparency and public participation in the state's rulemaking process.
