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:

    I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    Interior design is a travesty of the architectural process and a frightening condemnation of the credulity, helplessness and gullibility of the most formidable consumers—the rich.
    Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
