OK HB4319

Agencies may only promulgate rules when specifically and explicitly granted rulemaking authority by state law; general language such as "as necessary and proper" or "to effectuate the purposes" of a statute does not constitute valid authority

All rulemaking notices must cite the specific sections of state law providing explicit authority, and failure to provide such citation renders the rule invalid

The Legislature must review proposed rules to determine whether agencies have cited specific authority and whether rules exceed the delegated scope; rules lacking explicit authority shall be disapproved and declared invalid

Each agency must prepare an inventory of all existing rules within 3 years and cite the specific statutory authority for each rule

Any existing rule not supported by specific and explicit state law citation shall be automatically repealed on January 1, 2030, unless the Legislature reauthorizes it by joint resolution; effective date is November 1, 2026
