What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires all state agencies during the administrative rule

promulgation process to present to the governor for approval all statements of the

scope of proposed rules, the final draft form of the proposed rules, and the final draft

form of all emergency rules. Without the approval of the governor of the statements

of the scope of proposed rules and the final draft forms of proposed rules and

emergency rules, the state agencies may not promulgate the rules. This bill exempts

the Government Accountability Board from these administrative rule-making

requirements.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
