SB 109-04: Regulatory Process Reform Act (Failed)

[OSR stands with Israel]

Thank you I believe that it is time for Atlasia to finally reform our regulatory system to ensure that we can reduce the power of an unelected bureaucracy and send it back to the elected officials here in the senate and in the regions .


It is why I believe this bill should be passed into law

[OSR stands with Israel]

I think I would oppose this in principle as I believe not only would it hamper Sirius's role as SOIA, but as written, "regulation" could in theory apply to some of the work at the Department of State depending on interpretation. As I am an executive official, I believe I will have to abstain from voting on this issue due to a conflict of interest, but I would like some clarification on the wording as a Senator.

I would interpret is as regulation under the APA which excludes acts by State/Defense.

Yah that’s what I mean but we can amend the bill to make this more clear if need to be

I don't like the idea of a new agency being created. More bureaucracy + what happens if labor staffs the agency with bad analysts

Would you support something like the OTL reins act instead

Section II: Process Changes

2. Any one of these regulations deemed to have a higher cost than a benefit, shall not be implemented unless Congress passes that regulation into law.

3. Future Regulations which are implemented are required to periodically have cost benefit analysis even after implementation to see if the benefits of the regulation outweigh the costs.

1. A new agency will be created to carry out the cost benefit analysis.

2. The new agency will be part of the Department of Internal Affairs.

3. The head of that particular agency will be appointed by the President.

How would you know that it has an impact of more than $100 million without doing an analysis?

The agency writing the regulations can do the analysis.

Aye

Does the sponsor by any chance have plans to try and incorporate the arguments re: intended implementation into the bill? Just curious.

Was waiting to see if any amendments were proposed on the issue

Why not offer one yourself?

Would you be willing to support a bill without the 100 million limit cause the limit was created to let minor regulations pass with less scrutiny
