Senate

Bill 1360
2016 Freedom Index Score (+1)
Analyst: Lindsay Russell Dexter
Date: March 9, 2016

ANALYSTS NOTE: Senate Bill 1360 would require that an agency, which proposes amendments to
materials already given to the legislature for rules review, include a written summary of any changes.

Point No. 8: Does it in any way restrict public access to information related to government activity or
otherwise compromise government transparency or accountability? Conversely, does it increase public
access to information related to government activity or increase government transparency or
accountability?

ANALYSIS: Senate Bill 1360 provides more transparency for regulations incorporated by
reference. For example, when a new federal regulation, or external documents or regulations, or
if a manual is referenced, the agency will be required to include a summary of the change and
how it will affect the rule. (+1)
