BILL NUMBER:S5166A
Title of bill
An act relating to rules and regulations of the state
Purpose
This bill seeks to start the process of repealing agency rules and regulations that are an impediment to economic growth and job creation by establishing a timetable for state agencies to identify rules that should or could be repealed, for the Department of Economic Development to review and make recommendations with respect to such rules, to have the Governor identify at least 1,000 rules to repeal and for repeal of the identified rules.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill directs state agencies, departments, public benefit corporations and authorities to submit to the Governor, the legislative leaders and ARRC by 8/31/2014 a comprehensive list of adopted rules and regulations, an explanation of the agency's need for each such rule or regulation, and those no longer necessary with a recommendation for repeal.
Section 2 requires the Department of Economic Development to review the lists established pursuant to section 1 and to make recommendation for repeal of rules or regulations that are an impediment to economic growth and job creation by 11/30/2014. ARRC shall also review the lists and make similar recommendations.
Section 3 of the bill requires the Governor, by 12/31/2014, to identify at least 1,000 rules or regulations to repeal, including any that are an impediment to economic growth and job creation.
Section 4 of the bill requires the Governor to repeal at least 1,000 rules or regulations, following SAPA procedures, by April 1, 2015.
Existing law
Current law does not provide either a requirement or timetable for repeal of unnecessary state rules and regulations and those that are impediments to economic growth and job creation.
Justification
New York's Code of Rules and Regulations is comprised of 23 Titles in 83 volumes. This legislation is modeled on a successful effort in the State of Florida that led to more than 3,000 rules and regulations being identified for repeal or revision. Excessive state agency rules and regulations add costs to small business, stifle innovation and make New York less competitive than other states. In order to create a pro- job growth climate in this state, we need to clear away all unnecessary state regulation that serves no legitimate government purpose.
