Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
SCS/SBs 891 & 877 - For any proposed administrative rule change submitted by a state agency that will result in the expenditure of public funds by a state entity or political subdivision of greater than $250,000, or will result in a loss of income to an individual or business of greater than $250,000, this act requires the state agency to notify the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. The Committee may hold hearings on the proposed rule. Such proposed rule shall not become effective until approved by the General Assembly through passage of a concurrent resolution. The provisions of this act will not apply to emergency rules or rules required by federal law or for federal funding. A state agency shall not file any notice of proposed rulemaking with the Secretary of State without first receiving, and including a copy of, the written approval of the Governor. These provisions are similar to SCS/SB 350 (2025) and similar to HB 2554 (2024). This act requires that any rule promulgated by a state agency must be specifically authorized by a state statute. An agency cannot rely on a general grant of rulemaking authority to supplement a specific grant of authority. The act further requires that all substantive policy statements, as defined in the act, be posted on the agency's publicly accessible website and requires the agency to maintain a complete and current record of such statements for public inspection. These provisions are identical to SB 1549 (2026). JIM ERTLE
