HB4320

Oklahoma HB4320 mandates agencies to review and reduce their existing administrative rules by 25% within two years.

Oklahoma HB4320 amends the Administrative Procedures Act to require state agencies to review all existing permanent rules. Agencies must repeal or consolidate 25% of these rules within two years. Exceptions apply for rules promulgated by specific statutory authority. Agencies must submit annual compliance reports detailing their rule counts and the percentage of rules repealed or consolidated. Non-compliance results in a prohibition on promulgating new permanent rules until further legislative notice. The act clarifies that it does not expand agency authority or limit legislative authority.
