Massachusetts H1039 mandates that any proposal by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) imposing additional costs on cities or towns must include a regulatory impact statement. This statement must identify the problem, methodology, stakeholders, financial impacts, and benefits of the proposal. The EOEEA must notify stakeholders and relevant committees 30 days before a hearing. The proposal cannot become effective until the statement is completed, made public, and filed with the secretary of state.
