What happens when a proposal proceeds to the decision maker without clearance of the Regulation Impact Statement by the OBPR?
Australian Government proposals should not proceed to the decision maker unless they have satisfied the Government’s best practice regulation requirements.However, in the event that a proposal proceeds (either to Cabinet or another decision maker) without an adequate RIS (or quantitative assessment of compliance costs), the resulting regulation must be the subject of a post-implementation review within one to two years and the agency/department responsible for the proposal will be reported as non-compliant by the OBPR in the Best Practice Regulation Report.
