TITLE OF BILL:  An act relating to rules and regulations of the state

PURPOSE:  This bill seeks to start the process of repealing agency
rules and regulations that are an impediment to economic growth and
job creation by establishing a timetable for state agencies to
identify rules that should or could be repealed, for the Department of
Economic Development to review and make recommendations with respect
to such rules, to have the Governor identify at least 1,000 rules to
repeal and for repeal of the identified rules

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill directs state agencies, departments, public
benefit corporations and authorities to submit to the Governor, the
legislative leaders and ARRC by 8/31/2015 a comprehensive list of
adopted rules and regulations, an explanation of the agency's need for
each such rule or regulation, and those no longer necessary with a
recommendation for repeal.

Section 2 requires the Department of Economic Development to review
the lists established pursuant to section 1 and to make recommendation
for repeal of rules or regulations that are an impediment to economic
growth and job creation by 11/30/2015. ARRC shall also review the
lists and make similar recommendations.

Section 3 of the bill requires the Governor, by 12/31/2015, to
identify at least 1,000 rules or regulations to repeal, including any
that are an impediment to economic growth and job creation

Section 4 of the bill requires the Governor to repeal at least 1,000
rules or regulations, following SAPA procedures, by April 1, 2016.

EXISTING LAW:  Current law does not provide either a requirement or
timetable for repeal of unnecessary state rules and regulations and
those that are impediments to economic growth and job creation.

JUSTIFICATION:  New York's Code of Rules and Regulations is comprised
of 23 Titles in 83 volumes. This legislation is modeled on a
successful effort in the State of Florida that led to more than 3,000
rules and regulations being identified for repeal or revision.
Excessive state agency rules and regulations add costs to small
business, stifle innovation and make New York less competitive than
other states In order to create a pro- job growth climate in this
state, we need to clear away all unnecessary state regulation that
serves no legitimate government purpose.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  S5166A / A7986A of 2013 passed Senate; 2014
referred to Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business

EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately
