AI Summary

This bill establishes an Administrative Rules Review Committee to oversee administrative rules, which are defined as official statements by government entities (agencies) that have the effect of law, including executive orders. Agencies must submit proposed rules, along with their latest regulatory analysis and supporting documents, to the office of fiscal management and analysis to estimate their financial impact on state and local governments. If this estimated impact exceeds $300,000 over any two-year period, the rule and its supporting documents must be sent to the Administrative Rules Review Committee for review. Generally, such a rule cannot become law unless authorized by a bill passed by the General Assembly, unless the governor declares an emergency and certifies the rule's necessity to address it, in which case the rule expires after one year.
