Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Agencies can revoke rules with notice

An agency can cancel a rule it flags in its five-year report by filing a revocation notice with the Secretary of State. The notice cannot add new rules or changes. Before filing, the agency must give written notice to affected businesses, local governments, and known members of the public. If someone asks in writing, the agency holds a public hearing. The Attorney General reviews and approves the revocation. The agency informs the joint committee and appears if asked. The cancellation takes effect 15 days after it is published in the Kansas Register.

Agencies review rules every five years

Each agency reviews its rules at least every five years. By July 15 of its assigned year, it sends a report to the joint committee. The report lists each rule as needed to carry out state law or ready to be canceled. Agencies follow a set year-by-year schedule and repeat every five years. Agencies not on the schedule that adopt rules effective on or after July 1, 2022 must report by July 15 of the fifth year after those rules take effect, then every five years.

Filed rules go to oversight committee

When an agency files rules, the Secretary of State sends the joint committee the number of copies it asks for. This does not apply to rules that are canceled under the revocation process.

Rules must be necessary and narrow

An agency may adopt or keep a rule only if it serves a clear public purpose under state law. The rule must be no broader than needed to meet that purpose.

Older rulemaking laws repealed on publication

The law repeals K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 77-426 and 77-440. The repeal takes effect when the act is published in the Kansas Register. This ends those prior filing and review rules on that date.
