Administrative Procedure Act requirements added to emphasize statutory authorization for rules, governor's statutory authority to authorize rules in an emergency rescinded, and court deference to agency rule interpretation precluded.

Minnesota House Bill HF3113 proposes three main changes: 1) It requires that any new rules created by state agencies must have clear authorization from existing laws. 2) It removes the governor's power to authorize new rules during emergencies. 3) It prevents courts from automatically deferring to state agencies' interpretations of their own rules.

Supporters argue that HF3113 enhances checks and balances by ensuring that state agencies cannot create rules without explicit legislative approval. They believe this will lead to more transparent governance and prevent overreach by the executive branch during emergencies.

Critics contend that HF3113 could hinder the state's ability to respond swiftly to emergencies by removing the governor's authority to enact necessary rules. They also express concern that preventing courts from deferring to agency expertise might lead to inconsistent interpretations and undermine the effectiveness of state regulations.
