Summary

(1) Existing law requires every state agency subject to the Administrative Procedure Act to provide an initial statement of reasons for proposing the adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation. Existing law requires that the initial statement of reasons include, among other things, facts, evidence, documents, testimony, or other evidence on which the agency relies to support a specified determination. This bill would additionally require that if a regulation that is a building standard impacts housing, the initial statement of reasons include the estimated cost of compliance and the potential benefits of the regulation and the related assumptions used in determining that estimate, except as specified. (2) Existing law requires every state agency to provide notice of the proposed adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation and requires a designated agency officer to make publicly available the agency's evaluation, if any, of the effect of the proposed regulatory action on housing costs. This bill would require that in making the evaluation available to the public, the agency officer include the estimated costs of compliance and the potential benefits of the regulation, except as specified. (3) This bill would express the intent of the Legislature that the requirements of the bill would only apply to those state agencies that have statutory authority to propose or adopt residential building standards, and not to the State Air Resources Board, air pollution control districts, or air quality management districts.
