AI Summary
This bill requires state agencies in Mississippi to identify and simultaneously repeal at least two existing rules whenever they propose to adopt a new rule, creating a regulatory "two-for-one" approach to rule-making. Under the new law, when an agency wants to create a new rule, it must also specify which two or more existing rules will be eliminated on the same date the new rule takes effect. The bill amends several sections of the Mississippi Code to implement this requirement, including mandating that the agency's rule-making docket, notice of proposed rule adoption, and rule-making record all include references to the rules to be repealed. Additionally, the bill requires agencies to include in their economic impact statements an estimate of the cost savings achieved by eliminating the identified existing rules. The goal appears to be reducing regulatory burden by ensuring that for every new rule created, at least two existing rules are removed, potentially streamlining bureaucratic processes and preventing unnecessary accumulation of regulations. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies time to prepare for this new rule-making approach.
