BILL NUMBER: S1261

SPONSOR: TEDISCO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to
legislative approval of certain proposed rules

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This  legislation  is designed to provide the Legislature with foreknow-
ledge of rules or regulations adopted by  state  agencies,  departments,
and  authorities  which implement legislative action. In too many cases,
regulations thwart the legislative intent either going beyond or falling
short of legislative goals. This legislation would require  approval  of
all rules and regulations prior to their implementation.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section  1.  This act shall be known and may be cited as "the regulatory
ratification act."

The state administrative procedure  act  is  amended  by  adding  a  new
Section 202-(f). This legislation would require that prior to the effec-
tive  date  of  any  rule or regulation promulgated by any state agency,
department, or authority, such rules or regulations must be approved  by
the  standing  committee  of both the New York State Senate and Assembly
having jurisdiction over the subject matter.

 
EFFECTS OF PRESENT LAW THAT THIS BILL WOULD ALTER:

Presently, state administrative agencies  are  not  required  to  submit
proposed rules and regulations for legislative approval.
