This bill would create new public online tools to track government-issued permits and licenses, and require state agencies to report all their regulations into a central inventory. It would also require that any new regulation with a major economic impact be approved by the full Kentucky legislature before taking effect, rather than going into effect automatically after agency review. Who it may affect: businesses and individuals subject to state permits or licenses, state agencies that issue regulations, and members of the Kentucky General Assembly.
