AI Summary
- Increases the required notice period for agency rulemaking from 30 days to 60 days prior to the effective date of a proposed rule, and requires a public meeting to occur at least 30 days after filing notice and at least 30 days before the rule's effective date
- Requires rulemaking notices to include the exact copy of both the proposed and existing rule (if amending or repealing), a synopsis, the date/time/location of the public meeting, and a citation with concise explanation of the statutory or constitutional authority for the rule

- Permits committee members to vote on objections to proposed rules in person or by telephone if permitted by Senate or House rules, and requires at least 48 hours' public notice before a committee vote on an objection
