HB 2450 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 41-1027 to add a new category allowing expedited rulemaking for rules that are outdated, redundant, or no longer necessary for state government operations.

• Requires agencies to notify the governor, president of the senate, speaker of the house, and the council when proposing expedited rulemaking under this new provision.

• Maintains existing procedural requirements including 30-day public comment period, council approval, and 30-day effectiveness delay after publication in the state administrative register.

• Clarifies that agencies may not submit expedited rules substantially different from the proposed rule, but may terminate the expedited process and commence standard rulemaking if a substantially different rule is needed.
