North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management
The North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) reviews and approves the fiscal and regulatory impact analysis of permanent rule changes proposed by the division. You can find information on fiscal impact analysis development and the division's approved regulatory impact analyses on the OSBM website.
Substantial Economic Impact
Before a rule is published in the North Carolina Register, G.S. 150B-21.4(b1) requires OSBM to approve the fiscal impact analysis of the proposed text of a permanent rule change that would have an economic impact of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) in a 12-month period, also called a "Substantial Economic Impact." OSBM must also check the fiscal impact analysis to be sure that G.S. 150B-19.1(a)(2),(5), and (6) were followed. You can find the division's regulatory impact analysis for rules with a substantial economic impact on the OSBM website.
