State agencies must now prepare an "affordable housing impact statement" whenever they propose new rules that would affect housing costs, explaining how the rule impacts affordability, what compliance will cost per housing unit, and whether there are cheaper alternatives to achieve the same goal. The statement must be written in plain language and include information about reporting requirements and necessary professional skills, using only information the agency already has available. This adds a new review requirement to South Dakota's rule-making process to ensure housing affordability is considered before regulations take effect.
