This amendment narrows the bill's scope to apply only to 'major rules' and replaces the chief economist role with the legislative service office, while adding a study requirement and modifying the legislative objection process.
- Changes the bill's scope from 'administrative rules' to 'major administrative rules' by inserting 'major' before references to rules throughout the bill. (Pages 1-5, multiple lines (lines 2, 5, 9, 11, 17, 20, 21, 2-3, 5, 8, 11, 17, 20, 21 and corresponding page 3-5 references))
- Removes the requirement for a study and report from the bill summary and adds language requiring these items later. (Page 1, lines 3-5)
- Replaces all references to the 'chief economist' with the 'legislative service office' as the entity responsible for reviewing rules and completing regulatory impact analyses. (Pages 2, 4, 5 (lines 1, 6, 9, 14, 15, 16, 20, 1, 3, 6, 9, 13))
- Removes the reference to subsection (d) of the chief economist's duties in the regulatory impact analysis, keeping only subsection (c). (Page 2, line 14)
- Changes 'must' to 'shall' for grammatical consistency. (Page 4, line 7)
- Replaces references to 'director or' with 'legislative service office' in provisions regarding regulatory impact analysis authority. (Page 4, lines 15-16)
- Deletes the original definition of 'major rule' and inserts a new comprehensive definition specifying the criteria for designating a rule as major, including economic impact thresholds and effects on competition, employment, and social relations. (Page 5, after line 14)
- Removes reference to section 28-8-103 from the list of amended statutes. (Page 5, line 16)
- Modifies the amendment to section 28-9-107 to create a new subsection (d) instead of amending subsection (a). (Page 5, lines 18-2)
- Deletes original provisions establishing the process for legislative orders to prohibit rule implementation and replaces them with new language allowing the council, management audit committee, joint interim committees, or individual legislators to introduce legislation in the next succeeding legislative session to prohibit implementation or enforcement of major rules following review analysis. (Page 8, lines 11-20)
- Adds a new Section 4 requiring the management audit committee to study the act and existing statutory provisions regarding legislative rule review during the 2025 interim, with a report due December 1, 2025, and authorization for sponsoring implementing legislation during the 2026 budget session with funding included in the 2025 legislative appropriations bill. (Page 8, after line 22)
- Renumbers subsequent sections: original Section 4 becomes Section 5, and original Section 5 becomes Section 6. (Pages 9, lines 1 and 17)
- Updates the effective date references in the final section to account for new sections 3 through 6 instead of sections 4 and 5. (Page 10, line 1)
