California SB1204 revises the review process for administrative regulations, setting deadlines and procedures for approval or disapproval.

California SB1204 amends Section 11349.3 of the Government Code to establish a 30-day window for the office to approve or disapprove a submitted regulation. If the office fails to act within this period, the regulation is automatically approved. If disapproved, the regulation must be returned to the adopting agency within one week, with a detailed written decision provided within seven days. The regulation can be resubmitted for review within a year or must comply with specific standards before resubmission. The office cannot return a regulation as an alternative to disapproval.
