Bill > SR0002

This resolution amends a rule governing the duties of Senate standing committees, specifically concerning their review of legislation. It clarifies that "Office" refers to the Office of Professional Licensure Review and "regulated occupation" is defined by state law as an occupation requiring a license or certification. The key change is that when a standing committee considers legislation that would make an occupation a regulated occupation, it must now determine if the Office of Professional Licensure Review has conducted a "sunrise review" of that occupation, which is a process to assess the need for regulating it. Furthermore, standing committees in either chamber must now "consider" legislation before it is held up in the other chamber due to its fiscal impact, replacing the previous requirement to "review" it. This change aims to ensure that financial implications of proposed laws are addressed earlier in the legislative process.
