Relating to the procedure by which state agencies adopt rules, including legislative approval of certain rules proposed or adopted by state agencies.

SB 1474 modifies Texas state agencies' rulemaking process. It requires legislative approval for certain rules if they are withdrawn twice (Section 1) or if 52% of public comments disapprove them (Section 3). Agencies must submit proposed rules to legislative committees within 10 days of filing (Section 4), with committees required to consider them within 30 days. This directly affects all Texas state agencies that create regulations, making it harder for them to finalize rules without legislative oversight. The bill applies to most rules except short-term emergency rules under 90 days.
