Bill > S06724

This bill establishes the New York State Commission on Regulatory Efficiency, a new eight-member commission tasked with examining and identifying unnecessary and wasteful state regulations. The commission will be composed of members appointed equally by the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, and the minority leaders of both legislative chambers. Importantly, the members cannot be public sector employees and will serve two-year terms without compensation. The commission's primary responsibility is to thoroughly review existing state regulations and develop recommendations for regulatory reform. Within one year of its members being appointed, the commission must submit an initial report to key state leaders, including the governor and legislative leadership, detailing their findings and proposing specific legislative or regulatory changes. After the first year, the commission will continue to produce annual reports. The bill is designed to create a systematic approach to streamlining state regulations, potentially reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies and improving government performance. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
