SB 17-083

Senate Bill 17-083, also known as the Rule Review Bill, extends the validity period for most state agency rules and regulations that were updated between November 2015 and October 2016. However, it allows certain specific rules to expire on May 15, 2017, if they conflict with existing laws or exceed their legal authority. This bill affects various state agencies by ensuring most of their recent rule changes remain in effect while addressing problematic regulations that need further review or revision. Since the bill has been signed into law, these rules and regulations are now officially extended unless they fall under the exceptions listed in the bill.

Official Summary

Committee on Legal Services. Based on the findings and recommendations of the committee on legal services, the bill extends all state agency rules and regulations that were adopted or amended on or after November 1, 2015, and before November 1, 2016, with the exception of the rules and regulations specifically listed in the bill. Those specified rules and regulations will expire as scheduled in the 'State Administrative Procedure Act' on May 15, 2017, on the grounds that the rules and regulations either conflict with statute or lack or exceed statutory authority.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
