to amend 227.137 (3) (b) 2., 227.139 (1), 227.139 (2) (b) and 227.40 (4) 2(a); to create 227.11 (5) of the statutes; relating to: requirements for 3proposed administrative rules that impose costs.

This bill lowers the threshold for these provisions from $10,000,000 to $4,000,000. The bill also specifically prohibits an agency from promulgating multiple or separate rules in order to avoid the prohibition described above.
