S.B. 148 reorganizes and expands the Legislature's oversight of state agency rulemaking — the process by which state agencies create regulations that carry the force of law. Most significantly, it renames the "Rules Review and General Oversight Committee" to simply the "General Oversight Committee," expands its membership from 10 to 13 legislators, allows members to be removed at the appointing officer's discretion rather than serving fixed terms, and broadens the committee's scope to review any "legislative issue" and to receive and investigate whistleblower complaints. The bill also removes the governor's ability to revive administrative rules that the Legislature has voted not to reauthorize, shifting that power firmly to the Legislature.
