BILL NUMBER:S5519B
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to establishing the task force for the review of rules, regulations and public authorities
Purpose
Establishes a task force for the review of rules, regulations and public authorities once every ten years.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- The executive law is amended by adding a new article 3-B.
Article 3-B establishes that every ten years on or before March (in years that end with a five) a task force for the review of current rules, regulations and public authorities will be convened. It establishes the composition of the board and provides for the task force to hold public hearings and have powers of a legislative committee pursuant to legislative law. Task force members will not be compensated for their services on this task force. The task force will submit a report of its findings, conclusions and recommendations to the Governor, State Comptroller and the Legislature on or before January 1st of the following year. They also will submit legislative proposals as it deems necessary to implement its recommendations. The recommendations for the repeal of any unnecessary rule or regulation shall be binding unless by concurrent resolution the legislature rejects the recommendation in whole or in part. The task force will be dissolved upon submission of the report.
Justification
Quite often rules, regulations and public authorities may be necessary for a concept that becomes outdated with time. As such, the State and its agencies can become riddled with cumbersome rules and regulations that are no longer pertinent. Therefore, it is incumbent on the State's government to set up a system to evaluate all of New York State's public authorities, rules and regulations on a regular basis to weed out any unnecessary or archaic procedures. This will allow for the streamlining of regulatory reform and assist in making sure that the State and its agencies are running as efficiently as possible.
