This bill proposes updates to current statutes by expanding the scope of complaints that the committee can receive and review regarding statutes, rules, and agency practices. Under the current law, the committee addresses issues related to duplicative or onerous statutes and rules. The new language would insert provisions to also consider complaints about statutes, rules, and practices that are beyond an agency's statutory authority. This change aims to enhance oversight and ensure that agencies operate within their legal limits.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the committee's annual report to the legislature include recommendations not only for alleviating duplicative or onerous statutes but also for addressing those that exceed an agency's statutory authority. This broadening of focus is intended to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of administrative procedures and enhance accountability within state agencies.
