The bill, Substitute Senate Bill No. 445, amends the reporting requirements for the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) regarding state mandates that affect municipalities. It replaces the current requirement for ACIR to submit a report every four years with a mandate to maintain an updated record of all state mandates on its website. This record must categorize each mandate as constitutional, statutory, or executive and describe its potential impacts on local governments. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for ACIR to select at least three mandates every two years, analyze their financial implications for municipalities or school districts, and provide recommendations for modifications or repeals.

Key changes in the bill include the deletion of the four-year reporting requirement and the annual supplement on new or changed mandates, which are replaced by the ongoing website record and the biannual report on selected mandates. The first of these new reports is due by January 15, 2027. The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the Office of Policy and Management has the necessary resources to fulfill these new requirements.
