A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4242 AS INTRODUCED 2-12-13

The bill would amend Chapter 3 (Procedures for Process and Publishing Rules) of the Administrative Procedures Act to expand the information that is required to be included in a regulatory impact statement.

As part of the rulemaking process, an agency submitting a request for rulemaking typically must include a regulatory impact statement.  In addition to the information the statement must currently contain, the bill would require a regulatory impact statement to "demonstrate that the proposed rule is necessary and suitable to achieve its purpose in proportion to the burdens it places on individuals."
