Requires the general assembly to approve proposed administrative rules

HB 1972 requires Missouri's General Assembly to approve proposed administrative rules before they take effect. State agencies creating new rules must submit them to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, with a mandatory 30-day waiting period before final filing. Rules estimated to cost over $250,000 must be suspended by the committee until legislative approval is secured via a concurrent resolution. This bill directly affects state agencies and the legislative process, making all administrative rules void without prior Assembly approval as specified in Section 536.180.
