Impact
If enacted, SB1793 would directly impact how state agencies manage regulations. The requirement to repeal two existing rules for every new one proposed could lead to a reduction in the total number of regulations, enhancing governmental efficiency. Proponents of the bill argue that this strategy could potentially lead to a more agile regulatory framework, enabling quicker responses to changing circumstances and a clearer regulatory landscape for both the agencies and the public.
Summary
Senate Bill 1793 seeks to introduce a significant regulatory reform within state government by requiring state agencies and entities to repeal two existing rules or regulations before promulgating any new rule or regulation. This approach aims to streamline the rule-making process and reduce the overall regulatory burden placed on state agencies. By mandating a one-in-two-out system, the bill intends to foster a more efficient regulatory environment within state governance.
Contention
Notably, there may be points of contention surrounding this bill. Critics could argue that such a mandate might undermine the necessary regulatory frameworks that protect public interests, safety, and welfare.
