MODERATE

This bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act to significantly increase transparency and scrutiny for state agency rulemaking. It requires agencies to submit detailed impact analyses, including specific data on costs to small businesses and individuals, before rules can be adopted. Additionally, it introduces a mandatory five-year sunset provision for all new rules, requiring agencies to seek legislative renewal to keep them in effect.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of required documentation for all new agency rules, specifically adding detailed small business impact assessments and cost-benefit analyses. It also introduces a new time-based limitation (sunset) on the validity of rules.

REQUIREMENT

Agencies must now submit a detailed 'regulatory impact statement' containing specific estimates of costs to individuals and small businesses, compliance costs, and benefits before a rule is finalized.

A new requirement mandates that all new rules automatically expire five years after promulgation unless the legislature explicitly approves an extension via concurrent resolution.

New procedures require the legislature to receive and review proposed major rules within a strict 90-day window, with automatic withdrawal of the rule if the legislature does not act.

Agencies must now electronically transmit copies of proposed rules and impact analyses to the legislative service bureau and relevant committees for formal certification and review.

TIMELINE

The timeline for submitting regulatory impact statements and analysis reports was adjusted to occur at least 28 days before a public hearing and published on agency websites at least 10 days prior.
