Requires all state departments to report the cost of complying with federal regulations to the department of economic development

HB 868 requires all state departments to report quarterly to the Department of Economic Development the costs they incur from following federal regulations. This affects every state agency that must comply with federal rules, such as those related to environmental standards or workplace safety. Departments must submit these reports to both the legislature and make them publicly available online within 30 days of each quarter’s end. The bill aims to increase transparency about state spending on federal mandates but does not change existing regulations or directly alter policies for citizens.
