LB565

Nebraska LB565 modifies agency guidance document requirements, including availability, notice, and compliance with federal rules.

Nebraska LB565 amends the Administrative Procedure Act to change requirements for agency guidance documents. It mandates that agencies make guidance documents available at a public location and on their website. The first page of each document must include a notice stating it is advisory but binding until amended. The bill prohibits agencies from issuing guidance documents between July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2027, unless required by federal rules. It also requires agencies to provide an index of all applicable rules, regulations, and guidance documents.
