Oklahoma SB995 amends the Administrative Procedures Act to require legislative approval for the final adoption of proposed permanent rules. The bill mandates that the Legislature review proposed permanent rules and may approve or disapprove them through joint resolutions. If the Legislature does not act on a rule by the end of the next regular legislative session, the rule is deemed disapproved. The bill also repeals a previous section that allowed for legislative veto of rules and declares an emergency, making the act effective immediately upon passage.
