Bill overview
This bill restricts state agencies from adopting rules that are more stringent than federal regulations. It requires agencies to demonstrate a ‘clear and convincing need’ to exceed federal standards and mandates a thorough regulatory impact analysis, including a small business impact statement, when considering such deviations. The bill also streamlines the rule submission and certification process, requiring electronic submission to the legislative service bureau and enhanced transparency for the public and legislators.
