AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for proposed administrative rules that impose costs on businesses, local governments, and individuals. It mandates that agencies must prepare a detailed economic impact analysis, including not only the expected costs but also any potential cost savings, and present these as a single net figure for all affected parties. The bill also clarifies that these costs and savings should be attributed to the rule regardless of the agency's discretion, underlying statutory directives, or federal requirements. Furthermore, it introduces provisions for independent economic impact analyses, specifying that if these analyses significantly differ from the agency's estimates, the agency may be assessed the costs of the independent analysis, and it outlines procedures for when proposed rules are halted due to substantial costs, allowing for modifications or the use of other rules to offset those costs.
