REIN'ing in Regulations
The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act
Senate Bill 28 increases transparency and accountability for executive branch agencies, also known as the ‘administrative state’ or simply ‘the bureaucracy’.
The REINS aspect to SB 28 gives the people, through their elected officials, a louder voice when agencies propose new rules or regulations. If the cost and burden of the new regulation is too high for Georgia businesses and producers, it would be blocked from implementation automatically until the legislature affirmatively passes legislation allowing it to go into effect.
