Requires the general assembly to approve proposed administrative rules
This bill requires the Missouri General Assembly to formally approve proposed administrative rules before they become effective. It mandates that agencies submit new rules to a joint committee for review, which can hold hearings and suspend rules with significant costs exceeding $250,000 until the legislature acts. If the General Assembly does not pass a resolution approving a specific rule, that rule cannot be filed with the Secretary of State or published in the official register. Ultimately, any administrative rule that fails to follow these approval steps will be considered invalid and unenforceable.
