Independent Regulatory Review Commission - Regulatory Review Process in PA

Regulatory Review Process in PA

While many states engage some level of regulatory review, Pennsylvania is the only state that maintains an independent regulatory agency. The Regulatory Review Act, initially enacted in 1982, established the regulatory review process and created IRRC. The reenactment of the Act in 1989 established the current two-step oversight process. IRRC and the designated standing committees of the General Assembly now review regulations first as proposed and then again in final form.

Famous quotes containing the words review and/or process:

    Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.
    Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)

    The process of education in the oldest profession in the world is like any other educational process, in that it requires time and effort and patience; it can only be acquired by taking one step at a time, though the steps become accelerated after the first few.
    Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 4 (1919)
