To increase from 21 calendar days to 30 legislative session days the amount of time that the legislative Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) has to object to new administrative rules proposed by executive branch agencies and departments. Under current law, if JCAR votes to object to a rule, it causes bills to be placed on the House and Senate legislative calendars to either postpone implementation of the rule for one year, rescind it, or repeal the law authorizing the rule. One of these bills must be passed by both Houses of the legislature within 21 calendar days, and not vetoed by the governor, or the rule goes into effect anyway. The bill would also extend this latter period from 21 calendar days to 30 legislative session days. Note: Under current law, if the legislature is not in session, the clock does not advance on the 21 calendar day deadlines until they return.
