Legislature: operation of statutes.

Existing law specifies the dates by which enacted statutes go into effect. Existing law also provides that a statute may be repealed at any time, except when vested rights would be impaired. This bill would require the automatic repeal of a statute that expressly or implicitly authorizes an executive agency to promulgate regulations two years after the statute goes into effect, unless the Legislature amends the statute to state its intent that the statute not be repealed, or unless the statute was passed in response to an emergency, as defined.
