           SUMMARY  :  Extends from 30 days to 45 days the time any  
          interested person has to obtain judicial review of a given  
          determination on the status of a regulation by filing a written  
          petition requesting that the determination of the Office of  
          Administrative Law (OAL) be modified or set aside.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  According to the Assembly Appropriations  
          Committee, there are no significant costs associated with this  
          legislation.

           COMMENTS  :  The OAL reviews all rules, regulations and orders,  
          and any revisions to those rules, regulations and orders that  
          any state agency may use to administer its statutory authority.   
          If the OAL finds that a regulation adopted by an agency has not  
          gone through the appropriate procedures and been filed with the  
          Secretary of State, it may issue a public determination on the  
          status of the regulation.
           
          This bill is intended to increase access and transparency in the  
          regulation and rulemaking process.  Extending the filing  
          deadline from 30 to 45 days will allow more time for an  
          interested party to both identify an OAL determination and to  
          file a written petition requesting that the determination be  
          modified or set aside.
