Administrative Procedures Act; requiring agencies to repeal or consolidate percentage of existing administrative rules; effective date.

HB 4320 requires Oklahoma state agencies to reduce their permanent administrative rules by 25% within two years of the law's effective date (November 1, 2026). Agencies must first identify a baseline rule count (75% of current rules) and target obsolete, duplicative, or burdensome rules for removal or consolidation. Each agency must submit annual reports detailing their progress, excluded rules (those with specific statutory authority), and justification for retaining major rules. Non-compliance prohibits agencies from creating new permanent rules until corrected. The law applies directly to all state agencies subject to administrative rulemaking.
