|A. Article V of the Oklahoma Constitution vests in the Legislature the power to make laws, and thereby to establish agencies and to designate agency functions, budgets and purposes.

The right to establish any aspect of general policy by legislation, notwithstanding any delegation of rulemaking authority;3. The right and responsibility to designate the method for rule promulgation, review, repeal and modification;4. The right to approve or disapprove or repeal any adopted rule by joint resolution; and5.
