FRANKFORT, KY – Representative Derek Lewis released the following statement after the House passage of SB 65 on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. The measure would address the nullification of deficient administrative regulations.
“As co-chair of the Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee, I, along with my fellow subcommittee members, have the responsibility of reviewing administrative regulations to ensure that they are lawful and aligned with legislative intent. When a regulation exceeds an agency’s authority, conflicts with existing laws, or imposes unnecessary burdens, the subcommittee may deem it deficient. SB 65 ensures that the administrative regulations found deficient through the administrative regulation review process are null and void by statute, which holds administrative bodies accountable and prevents agency overreach.”
