Floor (House) → Floor (Senate) · 4 edits

MODERATE

The bill was moved from the House to the Senate floor, resulting in a complete reorganization of the agencies subject to rule review and sunset provisions. The Senate version groups agencies into new four-year and eight-year cycles with different start dates, replacing the House version's specific OAC code ranges with a longer, more comprehensive list of state boards and commissions.

Scope change

The scope of agencies subject to review expanded significantly and was reorganized into new sunset cycles, while the specific OAC code ranges defining 'obsolete' or 'outdated' rules were removed.

TIMELINE

The sunset review cycles were restructured into new four-year and eight-year intervals starting in 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030, replacing the previous House version's schedule.

SCOPE

A comprehensive list of 31 agencies was added to the sunset review schedule, including the State Auditor, Banking Board, and various health and safety boards not explicitly detailed in the House version.

REQUIREMENT

Specific OAC code ranges (e.g., OAC 800:1 through 800:15) used to define 'obsolete' or 'outdated' rules in the House version were removed and replaced with a general list of agencies.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the Senate floor version, including a new date and the removal of the House-specific page footer.

MODERATE

The bill was reorganized from a standard 'Engrossed' version to a 'Floor Substitute' version, indicating it has been amended during the legislative process. The substantive policy content regarding the sunset review of specific state agencies and administrative rules remains unchanged, but the document now includes updated session information for the 2026 legislative session and a new page header with a request number.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's policy content (which agencies are reviewed) is unchanged; however, the document metadata was updated to reflect the 2nd Session of the 60th Legislature (2026) and the Floor Substitute status.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was changed from 'Engrossed' to 'Floor Substitute', indicating the bill has been amended and is being reintroduced with changes.

The legislative session details were updated to specify the '2nd Session of the 60th Legislature (2026)'.

A new page header was added containing 'Req. No. 3822', which is likely an internal tracking number for the legislative request.

The original 'Engrossed' status and previous page numbering format were removed to accommodate the new Floor Substitute layout.

MODERATE

The bill was significantly rewritten to change the sunset review schedule from annual cycles starting in 2027 to a single eight-year cycle starting in 2028. The list of agencies subject to review was completely replaced with a new set of organizations, and specific rules for certain departments were narrowed to only apply to particular sections of the administrative code rather than all their rules.

Scope change

The bill's scope shifted from a broad, multi-year review of many agencies to a focused, long-term review of a different set of agencies with specific rule limitations.

TIMELINE

The sunset review schedule changed from starting on February 1, 2027, and occurring every four years to starting on January 1, 2028, and occurring every eight years.

SCOPE

The list of agencies required to submit rules for review was completely replaced; the original list of 28 agencies was removed and a new list of 21 agencies was added.

DEFINITION

New definitions were added for 'Agency', 'Obsolete', 'Outdated', and 'Unnecessary' to clarify the standards for rule review.

REQUIREMENT

Requirements for certain agencies were narrowed so that only specific sections of their administrative rules (e.g., OAC 800:1 through 800:15) are subject to sunset, rather than all rules promulgated by those agencies.

Several agencies previously required to submit rules for review, such as the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission and the Banking Board, were removed from the list.

New agencies were added to the review list, including the Oklahoma Boll Weevil Eradication Organization and the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission.
