Regulations: effective date.

Existing law, the Administrative Procedure Act, governs the procedure for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and for the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of Administrative Law. Under existing law, a regulation or an order of repeal of a regulation becomes effective on the 30th day after it is filed with the Secretary of State, except as provided. This bill would require that a regulation or an order of repeal of a regulation that has been identified by the agency as having, or as being reasonably likely to have, an adverse economic impact of at least $10,000,0000 become effective 180 days after the date it is filed with the Secretary of State, except as provided.
