MI HB4573

Requires agencies to electronically file requests for rule-making with the office of regulatory reinvention before initiating any changes or additions to rules, using a format prescribed by that office.

Requests for rule-making must include the statutory or regulatory basis for the rule, the problem the rule addresses, an assessment of the problem's significance, and any decision records from advisory committees or entities.

Agencies cannot proceed with rule processing unless the office of regulatory reinvention approves the request, which approval requires appropriate and necessary policy and legal bases.

The office of regulatory reinvention must record all requests for rule-making on the internet, provide public access to approved requests, and issue written responses addressing whether requests have appropriate policy and legal bases.

The office of regulatory reinvention must provide the joint committee on administrative rules with electronic copies of all requests and weekly listings of approved or denied requests, which the committee must share with relevant senate and house standing committees within one business day.
