Bill Summary

This bill places a moratorium on the adoption of any new rules or regulations, or amendments to any existing rules or regulations, by any State agency or local entity, unless required by federal law, for a period of 10 years to a manufacturing facility. A manufacturing facility may elect to waive its exemption during the 10-year exemption period on a case-by-case basis. The Department of Labor and Workforce Development is to establish criteria for a manufacturing facility to be eligible for the certificate of exemption and the manner in which a manufacturing facility may apply for the certificate of exemption.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a 10-year exemption for manufacturing facilities from new or amended State and local rules and regulations, unless those rules are mandated by federal law. A manufacturing facility, which is defined as a business involved in production, can choose to opt out of this exemption on a case-by-case basis if they wish to be subject to certain regulations. The Department of Labor and Workforce Development will be responsible for creating the guidelines and application process for facilities to qualify for this exemption, which is intended to provide a period of regulatory stability for these businesses.
