This bill updates the rules that govern how Kentucky state agencies create and file official regulations. It adds a formal definition for "signature," modernizes filing and notification procedures, and requires the state to maintain a public website where Kentuckians can find information about new regulation filings. It also makes technical changes such as removing an outdated requirement that the Governor notify the regulations compiler by telephone. Who it may affect: state agency staff, members of legislative committees, and members of the public who follow or comment on state regulatory activity.
