Legislative Services Agency; complete a Rural Impact Report on legislation if requested
This bill requires the Legislative Services Agency to create a Rural Impact Report for any legislation if a lawmaker asks for one. The report must analyze how proposed laws affect rural areas, including impacts on farmers, agricultural businesses, and rural school districts, with specific data broken down by legislative district. It also mandates comparisons between rural, suburban, and urban areas to identify any disparities, and requires the agency to use input from experts and rural stakeholders to complete the report within 30 days. Once finished, these reports will be made publicly available on the Legislature's website and shared with relevant committees and stakeholder groups.
