SB 331 - This act provides that any proposed rule of any state agency with fiscal notes of private and public expenditures exceeding an estimated combined cost over $250,000 in the aggregate shall not take effect until the ratification or disapproval by the General Assembly by bill or concurrent resolution. Any notice of proposed rulemaking containing such estimated costs in the fiscal notes shall be filed with the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules no later than 30 days prior to the next regular session. The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules shall suspend the order of rulemaking prior to the final order of rulemaking and shall submit the proposed rule to members of the General Assembly as soon as practicable. If the General Assembly does not ratify a suspended rule by bill or concurrent resolution, the state agency shall not file the order of rulemaking for such proposed rule with the secretary of state and the secretary of state shall not publish any final order of rulemaking for such proposed rule in the Missouri Register. Upon adoption of a bill or concurrent resolution, the secretary of state shall not publish the order of rulemaking until the expiration of time necessary for such bill or resolution to be signed by the Governor or vetoed and subsequently acted upon by the General Assembly pursuant to the Missouri Constitution. If the proposed rule is adopted and signed by the Governor or reconsidered by the General Assembly, the Secretary of State shall publish in the Missouri Register the order of rulemaking along with notice of ratification by the General Assembly. Any rule shall be null, void, and unenforceable unless made in accordance with the provisions of this section.
This act is substantially similar to HB 884 (2023).
