Summary

The Administrative Procedure Act governs the procedures for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of Administrative Law. Existing law establishes procedures for notifying interested persons of the proposed adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation. Existing law requires a state agency that proposes to adopt, amend, or repeal an administrative regulation to assess the potential for adverse economic impact on California businesses and individuals, as prescribed. This bill would require each state agency that is considering adopting, amending, or repealing a regulation, in addition to those existing economic impact analysis requirements, to complete an economic assessment of the proposed action at least 90 days prior to submitting a notice of proposed action to the office. The bill would subject the economic assessment to public comment. The bill would require the economic assessment to include specified analyses. On and after November 1, 2013, existing law requires a state agency, proposing to adopt, amend, or repeal a regulation that will have an economic impact of more than $50,000,000 on California businesses and individuals, to conduct a standardized regulatory impact assessment, as specified, to be included in the initial statement of reasons for the regulation. Existing law requires the Department of Finance to adopt regulations for conducting the standardized regulatory impact assessment. This bill would, on and after November 1, 2013, instead require a state agency to conduct a standardized regulatory impact assessment when the economic impact on California businesses and individuals exceeds $25,000,000. The bill would require the standardized regulatory impact assessment to include an analysis of alternatives that meet the statutory purpose of the proposed regulation, as specified.
