Introduced
by
To require 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.
Referred to the Committee on Economic Development

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not require the proposed regulatory reviews to be conducted by independent entities, and reduces the scope of the reviews.
