Relating to state agency review of adopted rules.
HB 3839 requires Texas state agencies to regularly review adopted rules, assessing whether the original reasons for the rule still apply and evaluating any costs imposed on regulated entities. Agencies must publicly post review assessments and supporting materials online. If an agency misses a review deadline, the rule automatically expires the next day and becomes unenforceable. Individuals or businesses harmed by continued enforcement of an expired rule can sue for a court order stopping enforcement and recover legal fees if they win. This directly affects state agencies managing regulations and the businesses or individuals subject to those rules.
