2011 Senate Bill 272 ↩

Senate Roll Call 127: Passed

To prohibit a state department from promulgating rules more stringent than required by federal standards, unless specifically required to by state statute. The bill would prohibit enforcement of an agency “guideline,” “bulletin,” or “interpretive statement” that has not been promulgated as an official state regulation under procedures specified in statute. It would also require agencies to consider exempting small businesses from a proposed rule, or find ways to reduce the impact on them.
