Introduced Session

This resolution creates the Senate Task Force on Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review to assess the effect that statutes, rules and regulations, and Executive Orders have on the State's economy and to provide recommendations to repeal, rescind, or amend any statutes, rules and regulations, or Executive Orders that unduly burden the State's businesses, workers, school districts, and local governments. Under the resolution, the bi-partisan task force would be comprised of six members of the Senate. The Senate President would appoint three members and the Minority Leader of the Senate would appoint three members. The Senate President would appoint two co-chairs, who would not be members of the same political party. The Senate President, with the advice of the co-chairs, may appoint additional members of the public to the task force. The members would be representatives who are devoted to the common goal of promptly addressing the State's economic viability and prosperity. The resolution requires the task force to: (1) review statutes, rules and regulations, and Executive Orders issued by the Governor to: assess their potential or actual effects on the State's economy; determine whether their costs and other burdens on businesses, workers, school districts, and local governments outweigh their intended benefits; and establish a basis for providing recommendations to repeal, rescind, or amend any statutes, rules and regulations, or Executive Orders that unduly burden the State's businesses, workers, school districts, and local governments; (2) request data and other information or assistance it deems necessary from any department, office, division, or agency of this State; (3) solicit both written and oral comments from the public, including professional, labor, community, business and environmental organizations, workers, school districts, and other affected persons or entities as the task force deems appropriate, and to consider the views expressed by those parties in any report; (4) hold one public hearing within 60 days following the adoption of this resolution; (5) provide an initial report of findings and recommendations to the Senate one year following the adoption of this resolution; and (6) provide annually a written report to the Senate, in which the task force will provide recommendations to repeal, rescind, or amend any statutes, rules and regulations, or Executive Orders that unduly burden the State's businesses, workers, school districts, and local governments.
