SB 133 strengthens the Legislature's ability to oversee how state agencies create and enforce rules by expanding the definition of "major rules" that require additional legislative review and approval. The bill modifies the rulemaking process to give lawmakers greater control over agency decisions that significantly impact businesses and the public, and it repeals a provision that previously limited this oversight.
The amendment raises the threshold for what counts as a "major rule" requiring legislative oversight from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 in costs, and shortens the evaluation period from five years to two years after a rule's adoption, which NARROWS the bill's oversight scope by making fewer rules subject to legislative review.
The amendment makes only technical and procedural changes: updating the bill codification number from 26.586.12 to 26.586.13, changing the document status from "SENATE STATE AFFAIRS ENGROSSED" to "ENROLLED," and renumbering some definition subsections (e.g., "(6)(7)" to "(7)"), with no substantive changes to the bill's legislative oversight of rulemaking provisions.
