Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Oklahoma agency rules approved with three exceptions
The law approves proposed permanent rules filed on or before February 1, 2025, by six Oklahoma agencies. These are the State Athletic Commission, Department of Emergency Management, and Office of Management and Enterprise Services. They also include the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics, and Department of Transportation. Three Office of Management and Enterprise Services amendments are rejected: 260:115-3-11(c), 260:115-7-32(o) on evaluation ties, and 260:95-3-6(a). The previous wording for those provisions is restored. The approved rules’ contents are not described here, so effects on people and businesses are unclear. The Secretary of State must send copies to the Governor and the editor of The Oklahoma Register.
