To require the publication of a Consumer Price Information Statement for each major rule, and for other purposes.
HB8515, also known as the Consumer Price Information Act of 2026, aims to ensure transparency in the regulatory process by requiring the publication of a Consumer Price Information Statement for every major rule.
