Oklahoma SB1023 requires legislative approval for permanent rule adoption and repeals a section of the Administrative Procedures Act.

The Legislature can disapprove or approve any rule, or disapprove all or part of a rule, through joint resolutions. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately. The legislation repeals a section of the Act that previously allowed for rule adoption without legislative approval.
