Senate Bill 275 aims to amend the process for agencies to promulgate administrative rules by introducing specific limitations on statements of scope. The bill stipulates that an agency must indicate whether a statement of scope is for a proposed emergency rule or a proposed permanent rule, and it can only promulgate one of each type per statement of scope. Additionally, the expiration period for a statement of scope for an emergency rule is set at six months, while the existing 30-month expiration for permanent rules remains unchanged.

The bill also includes several amendments to existing statutes, such as renumbering and clarifying the expiration terms for statements of scope. Specifically, it creates new provisions that define the expiration timelines for both emergency and permanent rules, ensuring that agencies cannot proceed with rule promulgation after these periods without legislative review. The changes aim to streamline the rule-making process and enhance accountability in administrative procedures.
