Bill Summary · LD 1673

Overview: LD 1673 is a resolve that seeks to establish a pilot project to facilitate the inclusion of economic impact statements in the legislative process. It was introduced on April 17, 2025 and has been carried over to the next legislative session.

Purpose and Intent: The resolve aims to address the need for more comprehensive economic analysis of proposed legislation. The goal is to create a pilot project that would incorporate economic impact statements into the legislative process, providing lawmakers and the public with a better understanding of the potential economic implications of bills.

Key Provisions:
- Directs the Legislature's Office of Policy and Legal Analysis to develop and implement a pilot project to include economic impact statements in the legislative process
- Specifies that the pilot project should cover a representative sample of bills introduced in the 132nd Legislature
- Requires the office to report on the findings and recommendations of the pilot project to the Legislature

Affected Parties and Impacts: The pilot project would primarily affect the legislative process and the information available to lawmakers and the public. It aims to improve the decision-making process by providing more comprehensive economic analysis of proposed legislation.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: LD 1673 has been carried over to the next legislative session, which means it will be considered again in the 132nd Legislature. The resolve will need to go through the regular legislative process, including committee hearings and votes, before it can be enacted.
