This bill proposes the repeal of section 536.014 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and enacts a new section with the same designation. The new section stipulates that no rule established by any department, agency, commission, or board will be valid if it lacks statutory authority, conflicts with state law, or is deemed arbitrary and capricious to the extent that it creates substantial inequity or unreasonable burdens on affected individuals.
Additionally, the new legislation introduces a requirement that any proposed rule by a department, agency, commission, or board must be accompanied by the repeal of at least two existing rules. This aims to ensure that the regulatory framework remains manageable and does not lead to an excessive accumulation of rules.
