Legislative approval and the governor's signature for rules to become effective requirement provision

This bill (SF 3495) changes Minnesota's rulemaking process by requiring state agencies to obtain both legislative approval and the governor's signature before most administrative rules take effect. It applies directly to state agencies that create rules (e.g., for environmental, health, or business regulations), mandating that proposed rules cannot become effective until the legislature passes a law approving them and the governor signs it within one year of the rule's notice. The bill adds a requirement that agencies publish a notice of this ratification in the State Register within five days. Emergency rules adopted under section 12.22 are exempt from this process.
