AI Summary
This bill, known as the Guidance Transparency Act, amends the Administrative Procedures Act to require state agencies to make their "guidance documents" publicly accessible. Guidance documents are defined broadly as agency statements of general applicability that set forth official policy or interpretations on legal, regulatory, or technical issues, and can include things like memorandums, notices, or letters, but exclude internal correspondence or legal advice not intended to affect the public. Agencies will need to post these documents on their websites and electronically submit them to the Secretary of State quarterly for publication in a searchable format, with the published documents needing to indicate they do not have the full force of law unless otherwise authorized and include information about any amendments or rescissions. This aims to increase transparency by ensuring the public can easily find and understand official agency interpretations and policies.
