This bill requires the Governor to appear before the Legislative Research Council's Executive Board within two weeks of issuing, changing, or canceling an executive order to explain the order's purpose, reason, and any costs or restrictions it imposes on businesses, government, or residents. The hearing must be open to the public both in person and online, with opportunities for citizens to testify and submit written comments. This transparency requirement does not apply to emergency executive orders issued under the state constitution.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
