Joint resolution; approving proposed permanent rules of certain state agencies.
SJR 21 is a procedural resolution that approves most permanent rules proposed by 17 Oklahoma state agencies for 2025, including the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and State Fire Marshal Commission. It specifically disapproves five rule amendments related to securities regulations, medical marijuana limits, and real estate appraiser standards, restoring previous rule language instead. The resolution became law on May 28, 2025, without the Governor’s signature, formalizing the approved rules and exceptions for these agencies. This resolution directly affects how these agencies implement their regulations but does not create new policy.
