What’s in it
This bill provides that for the three-year period beginning July 1, 2020, and each three-year period thereafter, state agencies shall conduct an ongoing and comprehensive review of all fees, established by rule or statute, imposed by the agency on the public. The bill provides that the goal of the review is to ensure that the fees paid are sufficient to meet the needs of the agency and the public. By December of each calendar year in which a review of fees is made, the agency shall file a written report with the general assembly, the administrative rules coordinator, and the administrative rules review committee concerning the agency’s review and recommendations for changes, if any, concerning the fees.

The bill provides that if the agency proposes to increase any fee by rule, any fee increase shall not take effect until on or after December of the year succeeding the written report evaluating the fee and the fee shall not be increased in any calendar year in an amount that exceeds percent.
