New York Times: “Legislation in South Carolina and at least 16 other statehouses would shift power away from state agencies by subjecting to legislative scrutiny any regulation that would cost at least $1 million to implement. Regulations that do survive would automatically expire after a fixed term unless specifically reauthorized.”
“A federal deregulation bill that would do the same has failed repeatedly to clear the Senate. So the states are taking up the call.”
