Adopt the Regulatory Management Act

LB 472 establishes Nebraska's Office of Regulatory Management to oversee state agency regulations. It requires all state agencies to maintain a public catalog of current regulations, including their costs for businesses and citizens, and mandates that new regulations must address widespread "systemic" problems (not isolated cases) with documented cost-benefit analysis. The Office will review agency proposals to ensure they meet evidence-based standards before new rules are adopted. This directly affects state departments and commissions that create regulations, requiring them to justify new rules through transparency and data rather than case-by-case decisions. The bill aims to make regulatory changes more accountable by publishing annual reports on regulatory impacts.
