Relating to a requirement that certain rules proposed by state agencies in the executive branch of state government be approved by certain elected state officials.

HB 3836 requires Texas state agencies in the executive branch to obtain approval from elected officials before implementing certain rules. Specifically, agencies must include a certification signed by the governor or the agency's elected official when proposing new rules, and emergency rules must be submitted to the governor or relevant elected official within 10 days of adoption. If rejected, the emergency rule cannot be renewed or replaced with a substantially similar rule. This bill applies only to rules proposed on or after September 1, 2025, affecting how state agencies develop regulations.
