The Hill: Cutting through the regulatory thicket

  • May 28, 2014
  • The Progressive Policy Institute

Representatives Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.) and Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) wrote an op-ed for The Hill published today on their Regulatory Improvement Commission (RIC) bill.  PPI’s RIC proposal, written by Michael Mandel and Diana Carew in May 2013, was brought to the Senate floor as a bill last year, followed by the recent bill in the House of Representatives, in both cases garnering significant bi-partisan support.  As the op-ed explains:

According to the Progressive Policy Institute, there were 169,301 pages in the Federal Code of Regulations in 2011, an increase of almost 4,000 pages from just a year earlier. Expecting businesses, large or small, to comply with such a bloated body of rules detracts from their core function of producing better goods and services while creating jobs.

You can read about the RIC, the bill in the House, and the rest of the op-ed on The Hill’s website, here.
