The Administrative Procedure Act governs the procedures for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of Administrative Law. Existing law establishes procedures for notifying interested persons of the proposed adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation. Existing law requires a state agency that proposes to adopt, amend, or repeal an administrative regulation to assess the potential for adverse economic impact on California businesses and individuals, as prescribed. This bill would require each state agency that is considering adopting, amending, or repealing a regulation, in addition to those existing economic impact analysis requirements, to complete an economic assessment of the proposed action at least 90 days prior to submitting a notice of proposed action to the office. The bill would subject the economic assessment to public comment. The bill would require the economic assessment to include specified analyses.

Existing law requires the Department of Finance to adopt regulations for conducting the standardized regulatory impact assessment.
