SB 1204: Administrative regulations.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 10, 2026

What SB 1204 does, verified August 10, 2026

The proposed bill aims to amend the administrative procedure act to improve the review process of state regulations. Currently, the office of administrative law has 30 working days to review regulations, and if disapproved, the office returns the regulation to the adopting agency with the reasons for disapproval. The proposed bill would require the office to report the disapproval and reasons within 60 days, allowing for more transparency and accountability in the regulatory process.
