Rep. S. Clark is sponsoring another bill for the Small Business Administration. Last year, Clark sponsored H.B. 64. That bill required agencies to report small business impacts separately from other affected groups. (Prior to H.B. 64, small business impacts were reported as part of the impacts to “other persons”.)
The new bill requires agencies to do an extensive analysis when preparing a proposed rule. It also adds a new question to the Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation.
The Administrative Rules Review Committee plans discuss the bill as part of its agenda for its Tuesday, November 27, 2007, meeting.
