State agencies would have faced new limits on making rules
What it does
HB 10 would have changed how state agencies write rules and set requirements for people and businesses. It also told courts to give less weight to an agency's own reading of the law.
What it means for your community
Rules that affect your business or license could take longer to change and be easier to challenge in court.
Why it didn't pass
It reached the House floor and was laid on the table subject to call on April 8, 2025, and did not pass.
What to watch next session
Watch for agency rulemaking limits to return, since similar ideas have spread in other states.
