Under existing law, the Joint Committee on Administrative Regulation Review consists of the members of the Legislative Council. The committee is required to review rules proposed to be adopted under the Administrative Procedure Act. The committee may disapprove a rule which disapproval must be sustained by the adoption of a joint resolution at the next regular session of the Legislature or the rule becomes effective upon adjournment of that regular session.
This bill would provide that the disapproval of a rule may be appealed to the Lieutenant Governor and establish a procedure therefor.
The bill would also extend the time rules generally become effective from 35 days after filing the certified rule to 45 days after filing and allows the committee to extend that period to 60 days if it determines a business economic impact statement is required for the rule.
