Bill Summary
This bill requires a State agency to identify at least two existing rules for repeal for every one new rule adopted. The bill is modeled after Executive Order No. 13771 issued by President Trump on January 30, 2017. The bill will result in a more thoughtful process of rulemaking and attempt to keep the costs of rules from increasing exponentially. The bill will become effective on the 60th day following enactment in order for each agency to plan for implementation of the bill's requirements.
AI Summary
This bill requires state agencies to identify at least two existing rules for repeal for every one new rule they adopt, a policy modeled after a federal executive order aimed at streamlining rulemaking and preventing exponential cost increases. This change will be implemented 60 days after the bill becomes law, allowing agencies time to plan. Specifically, when proposing a new rule, agencies must now include in their public notices and impact statements the identification of at least two existing rules slated for repeal, and explain how the costs of the new rule will be offset by these repeals, if applicable. The bill also mandates that agencies consider these identified existing rules for repeal when reviewing public comments on the proposed new rule.
