State management: other; reports regarding regulatory burden; require state departments and agencies to submit to the legislature. Creates new act.
HB 5534 requires Michigan state departments and agencies to submit annual reports to the legislature within 90 days of each legislative session's start. These reports must include specific recommendations for reducing the rules and requirements (regulatory burden) imposed by each department or agency. The bill directly affects all state executive branch departments and agencies by mandating this transparency and accountability measure. It creates a formal process for the legislature to review and potentially act on agency regulations, without specifying any required changes to the regulations themselves.
