Requires regulating bodies provide businesses with notice of new rules and regulations within sixty days of such rule or regulation being filed with the secretary of state; provides businesses are given one hundred eighty days to comply with any such rules or regulations.
Impact
The bill grants businesses a one-hundred-eighty-day grace period to implement any new rules or regulations after receiving proper notice. During this period, businesses will not face fines or punishments for non-compliance. The introduction of such a grace period is intended to alleviate the strain on businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises, which may require additional time to adjust their practices in accordance with new regulations. This change could foster a more cooperative relationship between regulatory bodies and the business sector.
Summary
Bill A09634 aims to amend the State Administrative Procedure Act by ensuring that regulatory bodies provide timely notice to businesses regarding new rules and regulations. Specifically, it mandates that within sixty days of filing a rule or regulation with the secretary of state, agencies must notify relevant businesses by the most effective means possible, such as public-facing websites, emails, or letters. This ensures that businesses are well-informed of changes that may affect their operations and compliance obligations.
Contention
Potential points of contention regarding A09634 may involve concerns from regulatory agencies about the feasibility of providing timely notifications and the resource implications of managing such communications effectively. Furthermore, some legislators or advocacy groups might argue that this grace period could prolong regulatory compliance and create loopholes that businesses might exploit. Opponents of this bill may argue that it dilutes the authority of regulatory bodies by delaying the enforcement of important rules designed to protect public interests.
