AI Summary
This bill requires that any proposed legislation requested by a state agency must include an "agency request statement," which is a written explanation detailing the agency's name, the primary contact person for that agency, and a brief description of why the legislation is needed. This requirement aims to provide more transparency and accountability in the legislative process by ensuring that the rationale behind agency-requested bills is clearly documented. However, this statement is not required for proposed legislation that is not initiated by a state agency or its representatives. The bill also clarifies existing provisions directing state entities to cooperate with the Legislative Service Bureau, which is an office that provides research and drafting services to the legislature. This new requirement will take effect on November 1, 2026.
