AN ACT to amend the state administrative procedure act, in  relation  to
  negotiated rule making

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
the "small business negotiated rule making act of 2015".
  S  2.  Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that providing
additional opportunities for direct small business  and  public  partic-
ipation  in  the  development  of  potentially  controversial  rules can
enhance the ability of the agency to develop the  most  appropriate  and
effective regulatory language, and can reduce the time and expense occa-
sioned  by  litigation  over the rule. Negotiated rule making provides a
means of improving the substance and  increasing  the  acceptability  of
rules,  by  affording  to the agency, regulated small businesses and the
public the opportunity for face-to-face negotiations over a rule  making
proposal  which  is under development by the agency. The opportunity for
representatives of the various persons and small  businesses  interested
in  a  rule to meet and communicate with each other provides a framework
for the sharing of information, knowledge  and  expertise  in  order  to
develop  a  consensus  on the most effective and appropriate rule making
proposal.  Fair representation of all interested parties and  a  skilled
facilitator  are  essential  elements  of  a  successful negotiated rule
making process.
  Therefore, the legislature declares it to be in the public interest to
set forth a statutory process for negotiated rule making  in  the  state
administrative  procedure  act  as  an  alternative  means of developing
appropriate and effective proposed rules.
  S 3. The state administrative procedure act is amended by adding a new
article 2-A to read as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD09934-01-5
