What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law

Current law sets forth the procedure for promulgating administrative rules.

Generally, that procedure consists of the following steps:

1. The agency planning to promulgate the rule prepares a statement of the

scope of the proposed rule, which must be approved by the governor and the agency

head before any state employee or official may perform any activity in connection

with the drafting of the proposed rule.

2. The agency drafts the proposed rule, together with an economic impact

analysis, plain-language analysis, and

What it would cost
