Administrative Procedure Act: proposed regulations: cost of living impact on residents of the state.

Summary

AB 1232 would add a new requirement that any state agency proposing a rule must evaluate how the rule would affect residents' cost of living, such as housing, food, transportation, taxes and health care. The Office of Administrative Law would also have to independently check those impacts, return the rule if the impact is significant, and give the agency a chance to lower the cost.
