Legislative approval required for adoption of rules.
HF 895 requires Minnesota state agencies to obtain legislative approval before certain rules take effect. The bill amends statutes to mandate that a rule becomes effective only after a law approving it is enacted, following publication of the notice of adoption in the State Register. This directly affects all state agencies that create rules, as they must now seek legislative approval rather than having rules automatically take effect after publication. The key mechanism shifts the effective date from current practice to require a separate legislative act approving the rule after its notice is published.
