Relating to administrative law.

HB 2692 modifies Oregon's administrative law to increase public involvement in rulemaking. It requires state agencies to appoint balanced advisory committees (with equal representation from regulated entities and the public) for rules creating new requirements, changing compliance obligations, or increasing costs for regulated entities. The bill mandates agencies to assess fiscal impacts - especially on small businesses - and incorporate committee recommendations into rulemaking documents. Agencies must also provide clearer notice about rules' purpose, problem-solving approach, and economic effects before adoption. These changes directly affect Oregon state agencies and the businesses, communities, and small enterprises subject to new or amended regulations.
