(COLUMBUS)—State Representatives Jamie Callender (R-Concord) and Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) recently introduced legislation to scale back the discretionary rulemaking authority that has been given to state agencies. House Bill 775 would claw back the authority of state agencies to promulgate rules under vague authority, often called ‘catch all’ provisions, while creating a procedure to establish stronger oversight regarding agencies’ ability to expand their authority in the future.
