CUT EXCESSIVE RED TAPE - PROVIDE RELIEF FROM OVERBEARING REGULATION

Create a permanent “Red Tape Committee”

The McGillis Administration will overhaul Florida’s regulations – restoring balance and fairness – by creating a permanent “Red Tape Committee.” The “Red Tape Committee” will bring both elected branches of government together in a bi-partisan fashion to perform a top to- bottom overhaul and review.

The Red Tape Committee will ensure rules meet a series of requirements.

Sound science or other technical basis

Consistent with other state policy goals

Consistent with legislative intent

Protect and promote the public interest, including the urgent need for economic development and private-sector job creation.

The Review Committee will recommend rescinding rules that do not meet these requirements.

Implement an immediate freeze on proposed new rules and regulations

The McGillis Administration will put an immediate freeze on proposed new rules and regulations, except those deemed necessary for public emergency, until the Red Tape Committee completes its review.

Promote transparency in the process of creating new rules and policy

Proposed rules will not be adopted until all implementing policy procedures and documents (such as technical manuals and forms) are in place and are available for inspection and public comment and input. McGillis will strictly limit agency policy and rule development that often occurs outside the public input.

Eliminate agency funding from fees and fine's

McGillis will remove the incentive for regulatory agencies to charge excessive or unnecessary fees and fines by restoring their funding “on-budget” from the general fund. Agencies will no longer rely on fees and fines for their own funding, removing their built-in incentives to over-regulate and over-charge.
