MS HB663

Creates the Regulatory Reduction Pilot Program requiring four agencies (Department of Health, Department of Transportation, Department of Agriculture and Commerce, and Department of Information Technology Services) to reduce regulatory requirements by 30% by December 31, 2023, with interim targets of 10% by December 31, 2021, and 20% by December 31, 2022.

Requires each pilot agency to conduct a comprehensive review of its regulations, rules, and guidance documents within 120 days, including public hearings, and submit detailed reports to the Secretary of State within 180 days analyzing the necessity, costs, and effectiveness of each regulation.

Prohibits pilot agencies from adopting new rules unless they have repealed at least two existing rules, reducing to one existing rule after achieving the 30% reduction target.

Directs the Secretary of State to report annually to legislative leadership on program progress, and requires PEER (Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review) to evaluate whether the 30% reduction requirement is reasonable and achievable.

Amends statutes for the Department of Health, Department of Transportation, Department of Information Technology Services, and Department of Agriculture and Commerce to authorize implementation of the Regulatory Reduction Pilot Program.
