Businesses get more notice on new rules
Beginning January 1, 2027, agencies must post new or changed rules on their homepage during the 45‑day comment period and email known trade groups at least 45 days before the hearing. Agencies must wait until after public comments to write a fiscal impact statement that estimates actual compliance costs and explains its assumptions. The statement must show proof of outreach to affected businesses and may include anonymous and board feedback; agencies cannot split rules to dodge cost caps. Each year by January 31, starting in 2028, agencies file an annual report adding up these impacts, and the Secretary of State posts links. The “regulated community” means private industries, businesses, people in commerce, and licensed professionals—not people only indirectly affected as service applicants or recipients. These steps apply to agencies whose rules need General Assembly approval and do not cover federally required rules or certain fee‑only licensure rules.
Legislative vote on high-cost rules
Beginning January 1, 2027, any rule with an estimated negative impact over $1,000,000 across five years (or over one year for an emergency rule) takes effect only after a stand‑alone majority vote in both the House and Senate, following committee review. When an estimate exceeds this cap, the agency must promptly send the fiscal statement to the Governor, the Senate and House Speakers, and the Joint Government Operations chairs; for emergency rules, the notice must state the rule’s expiration timeline. These checks apply to agencies whose rules need General Assembly approval and do not apply to federally required rules or certain fee‑only licensure rules.
Tighter limits on emergency rules
Beginning January 1, 2027, an agency must file a fiscal impact statement within 45 days after an emergency rule starts; if it misses the deadline, the rule ends the next day. If the estimate shows more than $1,000,000 in negative impact in one year, the emergency rule expires on the earlier of 180 days, the end of the next special session, or the 14th legislative day of the next regular session. The General Assembly can keep an expiring emergency rule by a majority vote of both chambers during a special or regular session. These limits apply to agencies whose rules need General Assembly approval and exclude certain temporary responses to new or amended state law and federally required or specified fee rules.
Effective date and rule coverage
This act takes effect January 1, 2027. It applies only to rules where notice was not filed with the Secretary of State before January 1, 2027.
