1. By amending subsection (a) to read:
"(a) There shall be established within the department of business, economic development, and tourism, for administrative purposes, a small business regulatory review board to review any proposed new or amended rule. If the board determines that a proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, the board shall submit a statement to that effect to the agency that sets forth the reason for the board's decision. If the board determines that the proposed rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses, the board may submit to the agency suggested changes in the proposed rule to minimize the economic impact of the proposed rule, or may recommend the withdrawal of the proposed rule. The board may also consider any request from small business owners for review of any rule proposed, amended, or adopted by a state agency or for review of any legislation affecting small businesses, and to make recommendations to the agency or the legislature regarding the need for a rule change or legislation. For requests regarding county rules, the board may make recommendations to the county council or the mayor for appropriate action."

amended, or adopted by a state agency[,] or for review of any
legislation affecting small businesses, and any recommendations made by the
board to an agency or the legislature regarding the need for a rule change or
legislation. The report shall also
contain a summary of the comments made by the board to agencies regarding its
review of proposed new or amended rules."
