Oklahoma SB616 prohibits state agencies from complying with federal regulations without legislative approval.

Oklahoma SB616 amends the Administrative Procedures Act to require state agencies to notify the Legislature and Governor of any new federal rule or regulation. The bill prohibits agencies from complying with these federal rules without legislative approval. Agencies must send federal rules to the Legislature and Governor via email. If the Legislature disapproves a rule, the agency must file notice with the Attorney General. A federal rule remains authorized for compliance if disapproved by a joint resolution but vetoed by the Governor, and the veto is not overridden.
