CA AB1266

Requires large air districts (serving areas with populations over 5 million people or one-eighth of the state's population) to prepare standardized regulatory impact analyses when adopting, amending, or repealing "major regulations" with economic impacts exceeding $50 million

Air districts may submit their regulatory impact analyses to the Department of Finance for review but are not required to do so

If a district does not submit the analysis to the Department of Finance, or if the Department does not provide review within 30 days, the district must make its own finding of compliance with the requirements

The bill imposes a state-mandated local program on regional air pollution control districts and air quality management districts, though reimbursement is not required because districts can levy fees to cover costs

Amended from its original version, which would have made nonsubstantive changes to the definition of "major regulation" in the Administrative Procedure Act
