SB1343 Summary

• Amends the five-year agency rule review process by requiring occupational licensing rules under Title 32 to automatically expire unless the agency readopts them after completing the required review.

• Requires occupational licensing agencies to publish an evaluation comparing licensing burdens with neighboring states and justify any greater burdens imposed by Arizona.

• Exempts rules required to comply with federal law or that receive federal monies from the automatic expiration requirement.

• Clarifies that agencies must use actual impacts and costs from the prior five years when analyzing rules, rather than relying solely on estimated impacts.

• Requires the Governor's Regulatory Review Council to notify the Secretary of State when rules expire so they can be removed from the Arizona Administrative Code.
