SB 350 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the general assembly to approve proposed administrative rules with a fiscal note over $250,000

SB 350 requires state agencies to get approval from the general assembly before implementing new administrative rules that cost over $250,000 annually. This directly affects state agencies creating regulations and the legislature, which must review and approve such rules. The key provision sets a clear financial threshold ($250,000+ annual cost) triggering legislative review of agency rules. It aims to ensure lawmakers scrutinize significant regulatory costs before they take effect. The bill is currently moving through committee with a "Do Pass" recommendation.
