BILL NUMBER:S6444
Title of bill
An act to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to the impact of proposed rules on jobs and employment opportunities
Purpose
To reform the provisions of law that relate to the Job Impact Statement (JIS) and to better incorporate the notice filings of the JIS into the rule making filing and publications provisions of the State Administrative Procedure Act as is now commonly practiced by state agencies.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Amends SAPA section 201-a (1) to ensure that a state agency when it is developing and promulgating a rule, throughout the entire rule making process, shall strive to accomplish the objectives of applicable statues in a manner that does not unnecessarily impose adverse impacts on existing jobs or potential future jobs.
Section 2: Amends SAPA section 201-a (2) to require that a state agency shall, when promulgating a rule, evaluate, in addition to the possibility of existing job losses due to the promulgation of a rule, to also consider the loss of potential future jobs that could have been created.
Section 3: A technical amendment to SAPA section 202(1) to codify the current law in SAPA Section 201-a and by current practice where state agencies are incorporating the JIS into the notice of proposed rule making.
Section 4: A technical amendment to SAPA section 202 (4-a) to codify the current law in SAPA section 201-a and by the current practice where state agencies are incorporating the JIS into the notice of revised rule making.
Section 5: A technical amendment to SAPA section 202 (5) to codify the current law in SAPA section 201-a and by current practice where state agencies are incorporating the JIS into the notice of adoption of a rule.
Section 6: A technical amendment to SAPA section 202 (6) to codify the current law in SAPA section 201-a and by current practice where state agencies are incorporating the JIS into the notice of emergency adoption.
Section 7: A technical amendment to SAPA section 202 (6-a) to codify the current law in SAPA section 201-a and by current practice where state agencies are incorporating the JIS into the provision of SAPA that outlines the distribution of rule making information.
Section 8: Effective date.
Justification
The purpose of this bill is to better integrate into SAPA the concept that state agencies, when promulgating a rule, should from the initial development, preparation, and ultimate promulgation of a rule, strive to promulgate rules in a manner that minimizes any unnecessary adverse impacts on both existing jobs or potential adverse effects on future jobs and employment opportunities. The bulk of this bill is to include the proper cross references in the rule making filing provisions of SAPA section 202 that are inferred in SAPA section 201-a, which establishes the JIS.
