SB 2134 grants rulemaking authority to the State Board of Agriculture and imposes requirements on wreckers, with key details left to future rules. This raises concerns about regulatory expansion and lack of clarity upfront. SB 2134 gives the Agriculture Board power to write rules later—the concern is what those rules will require. This is one of those bills that: Looks narrow But hands off real power to an agency The real issue: The law sets the authority—the agency writes the rules later Questions What specific actions will wreckers be required to take? Why are these requirements not fully defined in statute? Why is the Agriculture Board regulating this area? What costs will this impose on tow operators? What limits exist on the Board’s rulemaking authority?
