Emergency rules; require Governor to certify that circumstances exist to justify emergency rules

Summary

The bill amends Alabama’s Administrative Procedures Act so that an agency may adopt an emergency rule only after the governor signs a written certification that an immediate danger to public health, safety, or welfare exists. It also caps emergency rules at 120 days and adds reporting and repeat‑rule restrictions. The change adds executive oversight to fast‑track regulations that affect the public.
