Caption

Establishes the New York state commission on regulatory efficiency to identify unnecessary and wasteful regulations by the state.

Summary

Bill S06724 establishes the New York State Commission on Regulatory Efficiency, tasked with examining state regulations to identify those that are unnecessary or wasteful. The commission will consist of eight members appointed by various legislative leaders and will operate without compensation. Its primary function is to issue recommendations for regulatory reform, with an annual report detailing findings and suggested changes to be submitted to key state officials.

Impact

The establishment of this commission is expected to streamline state regulations, potentially leading to a reduction in bureaucratic red tape and fostering a more efficient regulatory environment. This could positively affect businesses and individuals by creating a more conducive atmosphere for economic activity and reducing compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulations.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding the bill appears to be generally supportive, as it aims to improve regulatory efficiency, which is often a bipartisan concern. However, there may be underlying apprehensions regarding the potential impacts on essential regulations that protect public interests.

Contention

Notable points of contention may arise regarding which regulations are deemed unnecessary and the criteria used for such determinations. Some stakeholders may argue that certain regulations, while seen as burdensome, serve important public safety or environmental purposes. The composition of the commission, being entirely non-public sector, may also raise concerns about the representation of public interests in the regulatory review process.
