AI Summary

This bill amends the Regulatory Review Act to modify several aspects of the regulatory review process in Pennsylvania. The bill adds a requirement for agencies to provide a list of relevant stakeholders with their contact information when submitting proposed regulations, and mandates that the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) notify these stakeholders about proposed and final regulations. The bill also reduces several key timeframes in the regulatory review process, shortening the time agencies have to respond to IRRC disapproval from 40 to 30 or 20 days, and reducing the legislative review period for concurrent resolutions from 30 to 20 calendar days. Additionally, the bill establishes a formal Bicameral Committee on Regulatory Review, composed of the chairpersons and minority chairpersons of the Senate's Intergovernmental Operations Committee and the House's State Government Committee, to oversee regulatory review processes. The bill also introduces a new requirement for agencies to rescind regulations when their statutory authorization is repealed, expired, or invalidated by a court order, and mandates that agencies publish and transmit notices of such rescinded regulations. These changes aim to streamline the regulatory review process, increase stakeholder engagement, and provide more efficient oversight of state regulations.
