LANSING – The Office of Regulatory Reinvention within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs announced Thursday it had eliminated more than 1,500 state rules and implemented more than 100 recommendations.
The ORR has reviewed more than 19,000 rules and collected nearly 35,000 pages of non-rule regulatory actions. To date, it has rescinded 1,950 “unnecessary, burdensome or duplicative” rules, the office said in a statement, with a net rule reduction of 1,554.
“The implementation of the ORR’s important recommendations and our rescission of unnecessary rules have helped create a regulatory environment that is simple, fair, and conducive to business growth,” said ORR Manager Liz Smalley, in a statement.
