House Bill 462 |
House Author: Dale |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Zaffirini |
House Bill 462 amends the Government Code to revise the notice requirements relating to proposed rules by state agencies to include notifying legislative authors and sponsors of the bill that enacted the authority under which the proposed rule is to be adopted.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "Agency rulemaking is an executive branch function, not a legislative function. Transparency in rulemaking is important, but it should not come at the expense of legislative encroachment on executive branch authority. Additionally, House Bill 462 has the potential to slow down the executive rulemaking process rather than enhance it."
