Relating to the establishment of the State Agency Rules Review Commission and the procedures by which state agencies adopt rules.

HB 1259 establishes a new State Agency Rules Review Commission within the legislative branch to review rules created by Texas state agencies. The commission, composed of four senators appointed by the lieutenant governor, four House members appointed by the speaker, and three public members appointed by the governor, will examine rules agencies want to implement before they take effect. If the commission objects to a rule, the agency must revise it and resubmit for review. This process applies to all state agencies that create rules, ensuring legislative oversight before rules become final.
