Introduced by: Christopher B. Saxman | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Administrative Process Act; impact on small businesses. Requires the Department of Planning and Budget, in addition to the economic impact analysis it already prepares concerning a proposed regulation, to differentiate between small businesses and other businesses identified; estimate the projected reporting, recordkeeping and other administrative costs required for compliance by such small businesses with the regulation; and include a description of any alternative method for achieving the purpose of the regulation while minimizing adverse impact on small businesses. The bill defines "small business" as a business entity, including its affiliates, that (i) is independently owned and operated and (ii) employs fewer than 500 full-time employees or has gross annual sales of less than $6 million. The bill also requires agencies to periodically review their regulations to minimize the economic impact on small businesses.
