BILL NUMBER:S2721

Title of bill

An act to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to authorizing regulated businesses to petition a state agency for an alternate method of implementing a regulatory mandate

Purpose

To reform the provisions of the State Administrative Procedure Act (SAPA) as it related to petitions to secure alternate methods for implementing regulatory mandates. This bill, which expands this concept that is in law, includes any group of businesses in addition to municipal petitioners. Under current law, only groups of local governments can petition a state agency to use an alternative method to implement a rule. This bill will expand this concept of petitioning an alternative method to implement a rule to include business petitioners.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 amends the expiring provisions of SAPA section 204-a so that the new provisions related to petitions filed by regulated business will still be incorporated in the law.

Section 2 is the effective date

Justification

Under current law, associations of municipalities can petition to alter the enforcement mechanism or standards used in certain rules. This bill expands this concept to allow associations of business with the same ability as associations of municipalities to have the ability to petition a state agency. It is important to give the business community the same types of opportunities to ask for alternative methods to comply with a rule as it is now afforded to groups of municipalities.
