Democratic Senator Jeremy Moss says the “Environmental Rules Review Committee” was just a bureaucratic step to slow down the rule-making process.
“Removing this bureaucracy leads to better decisions being made quicker. And we heard testimony in our committee that this panel hasn’t meaningfully changed the rule-making process.”
But Republican Senator Roger Hauck says repealing it could lead to overregulation.
“Allowing bureaucracy to run wild with regulations is a surefire way to drive businesses, jobs and people out of our state.”
The bill package passed along party lines. It next heads to the governor.
