The resolution proposes an interim study to investigate the processes and implications of state agency guidance documents, rules, and regulations in Nebraska. It aims to explore the procedures for issuing guidance documents, the level of public and stakeholder engagement in that process, the distinctions between guidance documents and formal rules and regulations, and the potential burdens these documents may place on Nebraska nonprofits and businesses compared to federal standards.
The Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future legislative actions and improve the regulatory environment for state agencies and the entities they affect.
