Public meetings scheduled on improving Delaware’s regulatory climate and to streamline or eliminate unnecessary regulations

Is regulation a good thing or a bad thing for business and economic growth? How about government red tape? Does it impede the ability of governments to function, or does it provide necessary safeguards for the public?

Let your voice be heard! The Delaware Office of Management and Budget has announced public hearings will be conducted in connection with Governor Markell’s Executive Order No. 36, a statewide review by all agencies to identify and remove regulatory hurdles. The agency’s hearings are scheduled for:

Executive Order 36 provides an opportunity for state agencies to review regulations on their books, and streamline or eliminate those that are outdated, inconsistent or no longer serve their intended purpose. After formal comment, OMB will consider the input received and change or remove regulations accordingly. The Governor will submit a report to the General Assembly detailing the regulatory changes in all state agencies in June 2013.

In addition to participating in the public hearings, members of the public are also encouraged to submit comments in writing. Comments may be submitted via an online submission form located here. Comments will be accepted through December 1.
