HB 4458 Summary

• Establishes automatic rescission of administrative rules 7 years after promulgation, unless exempted or extended by the legislature.

• Exempts rules required by federal law and rules under statutes that opt out of the sunset requirement from automatic rescission.

• Allows agencies to apply to the legislature for a single extension of up to 7 years before a rule's rescission date, which requires concurrent resolution approval by majority vote in both chambers.

• Requires agencies to submit 10% of existing rules for legislative review annually for 10 years, with agencies preparing small business impact and regulatory impact statements for each submitted rule.

• Existing rules not approved by legislative concurrent resolution are automatically rescinded 10 years after the act's effective date; approved rules are subject to the same 7-year sunset provision as new rules.
