Establishes Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review Commission.
This bill creates a new Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review Commission to evaluate state regulations and executive orders. It directly affects businesses, workers, and local governments by requiring the commission to assess whether these rules impose excessive costs or burdens relative to their benefits. The commission, composed of nine state officials and legislative leaders, will review all relevant rules annually, hold public hearings, and provide annual recommendations to the Governor for changes to burdensome regulations. All commission findings are advisory only and cannot be used to challenge state agencies legally.
