Administrative rules; providing for termination of permanent administrative rules subject to certain schedule; providing for renewal process. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 896 requires Oklahoma state agencies to automatically terminate most permanent administrative rules on a staggered schedule between 2026 and 2030, with 20% of agency rules expiring each year. Agencies can request renewal by submitting a cost-benefit analysis at least one year before expiration, and the Legislature must approve renewals via joint resolution. The bill preserves the Legislature’s ability to repeal any rule before its automatic termination date. It applies directly to all state agencies managing permanent rules, not to the public or specific industries.
