H.B. 64, entitled “Impact of Administrative Rules on Small Businesses”, was approved by the House Business and Labor Standing Committee on January 18, 2007.
The Division of Administrative Rules has asked the sponsor for two clarifying amendments. The first, affecting line 122, would replace “other persons” with “persons other than small businesses, businesses, and local governments”. This is intended to make it clear that agencies do not have to address these areas twice on the rule analysis form.
The second amendment would add an effective date of July 1, 2007, to the bill. This is intended to give the Division some additional time in implementing the provisions of the bill.
