Interim Study Report: Not Recommended for Future Legislation 10/22/2026 (Vote 14-0;)

Oct 23, 2026

Summary

The bill rewrites the Administrative Procedure Act, forcing state agencies to point to the exact laws they are enforcing, to provide fiscal impact statements, and to post all public comments online. It adds a committee review that can object to or conditionally approve rules, and lets the legislature stop a rule by passing a joint resolution. The goal is to make agency regulations more transparent and subject to legislative oversight.
