Approved by Governor 04/17/2026
Summary
The bill requires every agency rule to include a specific citation to the state law that grants authority; any rule without that citation is void. It gives the Legislature the power to review, approve or disapprove rules and forces agencies to inventory all existing rules within three years, with non‑compliant rules set to be repealed by Jan. 1, 2030 unless re‑authorized. The measure aims to tighten accountability and stop agencies from using vague authority.
