What changed in the latest version
172 added · 145 removedPlain-language change summary
The revised version of HB 402 has clarified the rules regarding the effective date of permanent rules. Specifically, it specifies that a permanent rule approved by the Commission will take effect on the first day of the month after approval, but new language has been added to outline circumstances that would delay this, such as a significant economic impact or if there are written objections. This change is important because it provides clearer guidelines for when rules can come into effect, helping affected individuals and businesses anticipate the impact of new regulations.
