Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the state administrative procedure act and the executive law, in relation to the comment period for proposed rules

Purpose

This bill would extend the period of time for which notice of proposed rulemaking must appear in the state register from forty-five to sixty days.

Summary of provisions

Section one amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 202 of the State Administrative Procedure Act (SAPA) to require state agencies to accept public comments on proposed rules for up to sixty days after publication in the State Register.

Section two amends subdivision 2 of section 101-a of the executive law to require that the agency proposing the adoption of any rule, or if a public hearing is required by statute, to provide sixty days notice rather than forty-five days to the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly.

Justification

Local governments, small businesses and individual citizens must perform substantive and thorough analyses in order to provide meaningful public comment within the prescribed forty-five day period. This task has become increasingly burdensome due to the significant length and complex nature of the proposed agency rules and regulations. Federal agencies have repeatedly extended public comment periods to sixty days in order to allow interested parties the time necessary to submit detailed responses to proposed rules and regulations. By extending the public comment period from forty-five days to sixty days, the regulated community will have an opportunity to thoroughly address any and all concerns with the proposed regulation; thereby, allowing agencies to craft the most responsible and comprehensive rules and regulations for New York State.
