The bill amends existing laws regarding administrative rules and regulations in Kansas, specifically K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 77-426 and 77-440. It requires state agencies to provide notice of revocation for rules and regulations, ensuring that any rule identified for revocation is communicated to affected parties and the joint committee on administrative rules and regulations. The bill also establishes a process for revocation, which includes public notice and a hearing if requested. Additionally, it removes certain abolished or inactive state agencies from the five-year review requirement, streamlining the regulatory process.

Key changes include the insertion of new provisions that mandate state agencies to notify businesses and the public about proposed revocations and to submit revocation notices to the attorney general and the joint committee. The bill also repeals existing sections of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 77-426 and 77-440, indicating a significant overhaul of the administrative rules framework. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the rule-making process while reducing the regulatory burden on inactive agencies.
