House Bill 1290 amends the Government Code to prohibit a state agency from adopting a proposed rule with a fiscal note that states that the rule imposes a cost on regulated persons unless on or before the proposed rule's effective date the agency repeals a rule that imposes a total cost on regulated persons that is equal to or greater than the total cost imposed on regulated persons by the proposed rule or the agency amends a rule to decrease the total cost imposed on regulated persons by an amount that is equal to or greater than the cost imposed on the persons by the proposed rule, with certain exceptions. The bill requires a state agency to prepare a government growth impact statement for a proposed rule and requires the agency to reasonably describe in the statement certain information regarding the nature and impact of the proposed rule for the first five years in which the rule would be in effect.
