What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
