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 revocation process includes written notice to affected parties and the opportunity for public hearings. Additionally, the bill mandates that state agencies submit reports to the joint committee on administrative rules and regulations every five years, detailing the necessity of their rules and regulations and identifying any that may be revoked.

Furthermore, the bill removes certain abolished or inactive state agencies from the five-year review requirement, streamlining the process for agencies that are no longer operational. It also repeals the existing sections of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 77-426 and 77-440, thereby updating the legal framework governing administrative rules and regulations in Kansas. The changes aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the regulatory process while ensuring that only necessary rules remain in effect.
