Resolution No. 18, introduced by Senator Bergstrom and Representative Kendrix, is a joint resolution that approves various proposed permanent rules from several state agencies, including the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission and the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, among others. The resolution stipulates that all proposed rules filed by these agencies on or before February 1, 2025, are approved, with specific exceptions noted for certain amendments proposed by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. These exceptions involve disapproving amendments to three specific subsections and restoring the previous language of those rules.
The resolution also mandates that the Secretary of State distribute copies of the resolution to the Governor and the editor of The Oklahoma Register. It was passed by the Senate on May 13, 2025, as part of the legislative process to ensure oversight and approval of administrative rules set forth by state agencies.
