HB 2563 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies the duties of the secretary of state in relation to administrative rules

HB 2563 modifies Missouri's administrative rules process by updating the secretary of state's duties. It allows the secretary to make non-substantive changes to regulations (like updating agency names, contact information, or website addresses) after state agencies request it and the changes are published in the Missouri Register. The bill also requires the secretary to provide public access to the Missouri Register and state regulations at reasonable cost (not exceeding actual publishing/delivery expenses), with all fees deposited into general revenue. These changes affect state agencies submitting requests and the public accessing regulatory materials, streamlining routine updates without altering policy substance.
