Bipartisan legislation (S441) sponsored by state Sens. Steve Oroho (R-Sparta) and Paul Sarlo (D-Wood Ridge) would establish the Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review Commission, a nine-member body charged with evaluating all proposed and adopted regulations, rules and executive orders to consider their impact on the economy and determine if their benefits outweigh the burdens placed on business and government.
The bill, which is intended to bolster government efficiency and reduce damaging regulations, was endorsed Thursday by the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee.
Oroho and Sarlo two of the more influential members of the Senate said they were hopeful the bill will continue to advance. Businesses, Oroho said, desperately need it.
