	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the required repeal of a state agency rule before
	adoption of a new state agency rule.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 2001, Government Code, is
	amended by adding Section 2001.0045 to read as follows:
	Sec. 2001.0045. REQUIREMENT FOR NEW RULE. (a) In this
	section, "state agency" has the meaning assigned by Section
	2001.006.
	(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), a state agency may
	not adopt a proposed rule unless on or before the effective date of
	the proposed rule the state agency repeals at least one state agency
	rule.
	(c) This section does not apply to the adoption of a rule:
	(1) specifically required by the legislature; or
	(2) necessary to protect the health and safety of the
	residents of this state as authorized under the Health and Safety
	Code.
	SECTION 2. Section 2001.0045, Government Code, as added by
	this Act, applies only to a rule proposed by a state agency on or
	after the effective date of this Act. A rule proposed before that
	date is governed by the law in effect on the date the rule was
	proposed, and the former law is continued in effect for that
	purpose.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
