This bill updates the rules for how Kentucky's legislature reviews administrative regulations created by state agencies. It creates two separate tracks for reviewing these regulations: a full review and a new "informational review," and requires state agencies to participate and cooperate when called for an informational review. Because it was passed as an emergency measure, it took effect immediately upon being signed. Who it may affect: state agencies and the businesses, organizations, or individuals subject to regulations those agencies oversee.
