New Jersey Assembly Bill A1113

Introduced

Caption

Establishes Red Tape Review Commission.

Impact

The creation of this commission signifies a shift towards a more systematic review of existing regulations that affect business operations. By enabling a designated body to assess and recommend changes, the bill intends to ensure that state policies support economic growth rather than impede it. The commission, comprised of members from both the Executive and Legislative branches, is charged with reviewing all proposed and adopted rules to determine their economic implications, potentially leading to a more deregulatory environment, which proponents argue is necessary for fostering business investments.

Summary

Assembly Bill A1113 establishes the Red Tape Review Commission in New Jersey to evaluate the effects of state rules, regulations, and executive orders on the economy. The commission aims to identify any burdens on businesses, workers, and local governments, recommending amendments or retractions of rules that are deemed overly restrictive or detrimental. This initiative is proposed as a part of efforts to enhance economic viability and prosperity throughout the state.

Contention

Notable points of contention around A1113 arise from concerns regarding the balance between necessary regulations and economic freedom. While proponents advocate that the commission will promote a more business-friendly environment, critics may argue that the review process could lead to the dismantling of important protections for public health and safety. Additionally, the advisory nature of the commission's findings—without legal standing to challenge existing regulations—could make its effectiveness debatable among stakeholders who may seek more definitive power to shape policy.
