To foster a more open economy, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox on Thursday signed an innovative bill that could stop the state from imposing new regulatory burdens.
, which affects around 1 in 4 American workers. strengthens Utah’s existing process for reviewing proposed new licenses and other occupational regulations. Called “sunrise review,” this process provides legislators with unbiased information and analysis, helping them make better decisions.... [+]Under Utah’s existing sunrise law, adopted in 1999, the state’s reviewer is part of the legislative branch and is supposed to publish an annual report detailing all the sunrise reviews it conducts.
But under the new law, SB 16 transfers sunrise review authority to a dedicated office, the Office of Professional Licensure Review, within the Department of Commerce. Not only will moving sunrise review authority from the legislative branch to the executive better shield reviews from the risk of political meddling, it could mean the state starts producing more thorough reports more often.
In addition, the Office will review every regulated occupation at least once every 10 years, to see whether they are necessary to protect the public. Evaluating existing regulations is certainly worthwhile, but it’s far more effective to prevent unnecessary new licenses from being enacted in the first place.
