Agency rules need explicit state law

Beginning November 1, 2026, state agencies may issue rules only when a specific state law clearly gives that power. Rule notices must list the exact law sections that authorize the rule; without those cites, the rule is invalid. Agencies must finish an inventory of all current rules and their legal cites by November 1, 2029. From November 1, 2026, any rule without explicit legal authority is invalid and has no force. Any such unsupported rule is repealed on January 1, 2030 unless lawmakers reauthorize it by joint resolution.
