This bill establishes a new legal framework for the review and renewal of permanent rules promulgated by various state agencies, boards, and commissions in Oklahoma. It mandates that these rules will sunset on specific dates—February 1, 2027, and every four years thereafter for certain groups of agencies, with additional groups following suit on subsequent dates. Each agency is required to submit its permanent rules to the Legislature for review in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act. The bill outlines a comprehensive list of agencies affected by this requirement, ensuring that a wide range of state functions are subject to legislative oversight.
Furthermore, the bill allows for the renewal of these rules for additional four-year terms, contingent upon legislative approval through a joint resolution. The review process will adhere to the provisions set forth in Section 308 of Title 75 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the review, approval, and disapproval of administrative rules. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, thereby initiating a structured approach to the oversight of administrative rules in Oklahoma.
