Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency; establishing administrative rules division within Office. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 5 establishes a new Administrative Rules Division within Oklahoma's Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency. This division will review proposed state agency rules to ensure they align with the Oklahoma Constitution, fulfill legislative intent, avoid disproportionate negative impacts, and comply with the agency's statutory authority. The division must issue reports within 90 days of the bill's effective date, limited to five full-time employees. The bill directly affects state agencies' rulemaking processes by adding an additional layer of legislative review before rules take effect.
