Introduced
by
To require state agencies with authority over various environmental regulatory regimes, in particular the Department of Environmental Quality, to hire an independent expert to conduct two studies each year benchmarking the regulation administration on the basis of per permit cost, how fast permits are processed, “customer service” practices, measurable environmental effects, how it compares to other states, and more. The benchmarking would continue at that pace until all programs had been reviewed.
