What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law requires a state agency (agency) that plans to promulgate an administrative rule, including an emergency rule, to present a statement of the scope of the proposed rule to the governor for approval before any state employee or official may perform any activity in connection with the drafting of the proposed rule.

Current law also requires an agency to submit a proposed rule in final draft form to the governor for approval before the rule may be submitted to the legislature for review and to submit a proposed emergency rule in final draft form to the governor for approval before the emergency rule may be filed with the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication. This bill eliminates those requirements with respect to a rule proposed by the Government Accountability Board.
