The rules throttle is a regulatory reform proposed in the conference report on House Bill 162. My research update discusses several aspects of it:
- What proposed rules would be affected
- The good-government, separation-of-powers rationale behind it
- What the chairman of the Rules Review Commission says about it
- What critics say about it
- How it would NOT prevent the General Assembly from drafting and passing a bill, even a bill that would make law out of a rules package the rules throttle would preclude
