Modifying joint administrative rules review committee provisions.
HB 1586 modifies Washington's joint administrative rules review committee structure and expands how agency rules can be reviewed. It requires the committee to hold quarterly meetings and specifies its composition (four senators, four representatives, max two per party). The bill creates two new review pathways: (1) allowing petitions for review of emergency rules or rules lacking adequate public input (e.g., insufficient testimony time or short hearing notice), and (2) enabling legislators to request review of any rule filed under state rulemaking rules or emergency rules adopted in the past five years. These changes directly affect state agencies creating rules and the legislative committee responsible for oversight.
