BILL NUMBER:S6441 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the state administrative procedure act, in relation to providing information on the prevention of common regulatory violations in small business regulation guides PURPOSE: This bill would enhance the State's business climate by providing effective oversight and coordination of the process of preparing small business regulation guides and by highlighting information on how small businesses can avoid common violations. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Bill section 1 amends section 102-a of the State Administrative Procedure Act to vest the Division for Small Business (within DED) with responsibility for overseeing the process of agency issuance of small business regulation guides - this duty had been assigned to the now disbanded Governor's Office of Regulatory Reform (GORR). The bill provides that such guides shall "identify any sources of information and assistance available to facilitate small business regulatory compliance" and where appropriate, shall also include information on how to avoid the most common regulatory violations small businesses are cited for by the agency.
