ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
                COMMITTEE

                         STATEMENT TO

                    ASSEMBLY, No. 4810

       STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                        DATED: OCTOBER 21, 2020

          The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee
      reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 4810.
         This bill creates the Government Efficiency and Regulatory
      Review Commission to assess the effect that rules and regulations
      and Executive Orders have on the State’s economy, and to provide
      recommendations to the Governor to amend any rules and
      regulations or Executive Orders that unduly burden the State’s
      businesses, workers, and local governments.
         Under the bill, the commission would be comprised of nine
      members, consisting of representatives from the Executive and
      Legislative branches of State government, who are devoted to the
      common goal of promptly addressing the State’s economic viability
      and prosperity. The bill requires each department, office, division,
      or agency of the State to cooperate with the commission and furnish
      it with any information, personnel, and assistance it needs to
      accomplish its duties. The commission’s findings would be
      advisory and cannot be used as a basis for any legal challenges
      based upon the action or inaction of any department, office,
      division, or agency of the State.
         The bill requires the commission to:
         (1) review all proposed and adopted rules and regulations and
      operative Executive Orders issued by the Governor to assess their
      potential or actual effects on the State’s economy; determine
      whether their costs and other burdens on businesses, workers, and
      local governments outweigh their intended benefits; and establish a
      basis for providing recommendations to the Governor to amend any
      rules and regulations or Executive Orders that unduly burden the
      State’s businesses, workers, and local governments;
         (2) call upon any department, office, division, or agency of this
      State to supply the commission with data and other information,
      personnel, or assistance it deems necessary to discharge its duties;
         (3) solicit both written and oral comments from the public,
      including professional, labor, community, and environmental
      organizations, businesses, workers, and other affected persons or
      entities as the commission deems appropriate, and to consider the
      views expressed by those parties in any report; and
                             2

   (4) provide a written report to annually the Governor and the
Legislature   in    which     the   commission   must    provide
recommendations to repeal, rescind, or amend any rules and
regulations or Executive Orders that unduly burden the State’s
businesses, workers, and local governments.
