This bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act, specifically 75 O.S. 2021, Section 308.3, to update the reference to the rule submission date. The amendment changes the deadline for rules received by the Governor from April 1 to February 1. This adjustment allows the Governor to declare any rules received by this new date, which are not subject to a joint resolution passed by both houses of the Legislature, as approved or disapproved by publishing a declaration in "The Oklahoma Register" by July 17.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if the Governor identifies a technical legal defect in a joint resolution, they must document this finding in writing and submit it to the Legislature. The act is set to become effective on November 1, 2025.
