Committee opens bill file to reauthorize administrative rules ahead of session
Summary
The Rules Review and General Oversight Committee voted to open a bill file that would reauthorize administrative rules that otherwise expire annually on May 1, a routine legislative housekeeping step required by statute.
Committee members voted Nov. 6, 2025, to open a bill file to prepare the annual reauthorization of administrative rules, a routine step the committee must perform under statute.
Christopher Williams of the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel explained that administrative rules expire each year on May 1 unless reauthorized by the legislature and that statute requires the committee to prepare legislation renewing the rules. Senator Johnson moved to open the bill file as a committee bill; the committee approved the motion and the bill file was opened for drafting and further review ahead of the general session.
Committee members said the bill typically states that all rules are reauthorized except any specifically listed by the legislature for removal.
