This bill amends the Regulatory Review Act of June 25, 1982, to enhance the oversight and review processes for proposed and final-form regulations in Pennsylvania. Key changes include the establishment of a "Bicameral Committee on Regulatory Review," which will consist of specific members from the Senate and House of Representatives. The bill introduces new requirements for agencies to provide a list of relevant stakeholders impacted by proposed regulations, ensuring that these stakeholders are notified during the public comment period and when final rulemaking occurs. Additionally, the timeframes for agencies to submit reports following disapproval of regulations have been adjusted, reducing the deadlines from 40 to 30 days for unmodified regulations and from 40 to 20 days for revised regulations.

Further amendments include provisions for the commission to review existing regulations that have been in effect for at least three years and to recommend changes if they are found contrary to the public interest. The bill also mandates that agencies rescind regulations if their statutory authorization is repealed, expired, or invalidated by court order, and requires them to publish notice of such rescissions. Overall, these changes aim to improve transparency, stakeholder engagement, and the efficiency of the regulatory review process in Pennsylvania.
