Administrative Procedures Act; joint resolutions; rule submission date reference; effective date.
House Bill 2731 amends Oklahoma's Administrative Procedures Act, which outlines the process for state agencies to create and implement rules. This bill changes a specific deadline related to how the Governor can approve or disapprove administrative rules. It moves the date by which proposed rules must be received from April 1 to February 1 for the Governor to act on them if the Legislature has not passed a joint resolution. This adjustment affects the timeline for state agencies submitting rules and for the legislative and gubernatorial review process.
