Relating to the effect of the amendment of certain documents incorporated by reference into the laws or policy of this state on related state agency rules.

HB 2335 requires Texas state agencies to review and update their rules when external documents they rely on (not other state laws) are amended. Specifically, agencies must reevaluate rules if an amendment to a referenced document would either expand their regulatory authority over state policy matters or increase economic burdens on regulated entities or the state economy. This bill creates a procedural requirement for agencies to maintain alignment between their rules and referenced documents, directly affecting state agencies and businesses/individuals subject to those rules. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not change existing regulations but mandates a review process when referenced documents are updated.
