Summary

The bill amends the state’s administrative procedures so that any agency‑issued emergency rule must be approved by the governor, who must confirm an immediate danger to public health, safety, or welfare. It caps emergency rules at 120 days, bars renewal, and limits repeat use unless the danger persists and the governor re‑certifies. The change adds executive oversight to prevent unchecked emergency regulations.
