Make E-Verify Great Again

Limit Rules With Substantial Financial Costs

This bill requires state agencies to obtain legislative approval before implementing rules that cost $20 million or more over five years, and requires higher voting thresholds (two-thirds for $1+ million costs, unanimous for $10+ million costs) when agency boards or commissions adopt costly rules. It also allows the public to request legislative review of rules if 10 or more people object within one day of Commission approval.
