Joint Rules; Legislative Division of Administrative Code Review.

HCR 1003 establishes a review process for Oklahoma's Legislative Division to examine proposed permanent administrative rules created by state agencies. The Division must assess whether rules align with the Oklahoma Constitution, fulfill legislative intent, avoid disproportionate negative impacts, and are within the agency's statutory authority. It requires the Division to issue reports with findings and legislative recommendations to House and Senate leadership. This bill directly affects state agencies creating rules and gives legislative leaders a formal mechanism to review both new and existing rules.
