Specific authority in law for rulemaking requirement
This bill requires Minnesota state agencies to have specific legal authority from a statute before creating, changing, or removing rules. It directly affects all state agencies that issue regulations (like environmental or licensing rules), preventing them from relying on general rulemaking procedures alone. The key change amends Minnesota law to state that agencies cannot adopt rules under broad statutory sections (like 14.001-14.69) without explicit, specific authorization in another law. Rules adopted after July 1, 2025, must comply with this requirement, ensuring agencies cannot create regulations without clear legislative permission.
