Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Assembly Joint Resolution 133 introduces a new section to the state's constitution, allowing the legislature to suspend rules created by state agencies. This change means that the legislature can halt these rules without needing approval from the governor or following typical legislative procedures. This matters because it gives the legislature more power to control administrative regulations, potentially impacting how state agencies operate and enforce rules.
