Cost-benefit analysis required for proposed administrative rules, adoption of certain rules prohibited, and notice to legislature upon adoption of exempt rules required.

The bill requires a cost-benefit analysis for any new administrative rules proposed by state agencies. It also prohibits the adoption of certain types of rules and mandates that the legislature be notified when exempt rules are adopted. This aims to ensure that new regulations are evaluated for their economic impact before implementation.

Supporters of the bill would argue that it promotes transparency and accountability in government by requiring a thorough evaluation of the economic implications of new regulations. They would highlight how this process can help prevent unnecessary burdens on businesses and taxpayers, fostering a more favorable economic environment in Minnesota.

Critics might contend that this bill could slow down the regulatory process, making it more difficult for necessary rules to be implemented in a timely manner. They may argue that the requirement for cost-benefit analyses could be used as a tool to undermine important protections for public health and safety, ultimately hindering effective governance.
