Status Info

Introduced to both the Assembly and the Senate and referred to the Committee on Regulatory Licensing Reform in the Assembly and the Committee on Labor and Regulatory Reform in the Senate. In the Senate, public hearing was held on 08/29/2017.

This bill would repeal all administrative rules on a rolling seven-year time frame.  All administrative rules would expire every seven years; in the 6th year, agencies would have to provide a list of rules to the legislature that they want to keep.  If any member of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules or the two standing committees objects a rule, it is repealed.  The agencies would then have to go through the whole promulgation process again.
