What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill 1) requires scope statements for proposed administrative rules to be

reviewed by the Department of Administration for a determination of an agency's

authority to promulgate a rule; 2) requires agencies to hold preliminary public

hearings and comment periods on scope statements for rules if directed to do so by

the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules (JCRAR); 3) requires the

passage of a bill in order for an agency to promulgate a rule that would result in

implementation and compliance costs of $10 million over any two-year period,

subject to certain exceptions; and 4) allows either a cochairperson of JCRAR or

JCRAR as a whole, at certain steps in the rule-making process, to request the

preparation of an independent economic impact analysis for a proposed rule.

Current law

Current law sets forth the procedure for promulgating administrative rules.

Generally, that procedure consists of the following steps:

1. The agency planning to promulgate the rule prepares a statement of the

scope of the proposed rule (scope statement), which must be approved by the

governor and the agency head before any state employee or official may perform any

activity in connection with the drafting of the proposed rule.

2. The agency drafts the proposed rule, together with an economic impact

analysis, plain-language analysis, and
