Section 106.022 | Authorization to revise and refile.
As an alternative to recommending the adoption of a concurrent resolution to invalidate a proposed rule, the joint committee on agency rule review may authorize the agency to revise and refile the proposed rule and rule summary and fiscal analysis. The joint committee shall issue the authorization in writing. In the authorization, the joint committee shall explain the finding that, but for the authorization, would have resulted in a recommendation of invalidation. The joint committee shall transmit the authorization electronically to the agency, the secretary of state, the director of the legislative service commission, and, if the proposed rule is to replace an emergency rule, the governor.
Upon receiving the authorization, the agency may revise the proposed rule and rule summary and fiscal analysis, and then refile the revised proposed rule and rule summary and fiscal analysis electronically with the joint committee.
If the joint committee makes any of the findings outlined in section 106.021 of the Revised Code with regard to the revised proposed rule and rule summary and fiscal analysis, the joint committee may recommend the adoption of a concurrent resolution to invalidate the proposed rule under section 106.021 of the Revised Code. The joint committee may issue only one authorization with regard to the same proposed rule.
If the proposed rule that is the subject of an authorization is to replace an emergency rule, the governor may issue an order extending the emergency rule for an additional sixty-five days after the day on which the emergency rule otherwise would become invalid. The governor shall transmit the order electronically to the agency, the joint committee, and the director of the legislative service commission.
