SB 252 would create a Regulation Sunset Commission to regularly review existing state agency regulations and recommend whether they should be updated, revised, or repealed. We support this bill because it creates a structured, transparent process to examine rules that may be outdated or unnecessarily burdensome.

Over time, regulations can accumulate and remain in place even if they no longer serve their original purpose. This can increase costs for businesses, individuals, and local governments. SB 252 ensures that regulations are periodically reviewed rather than left on the books indefinitely.

The bill also establishes an online portal allowing residents and businesses to suggest regulations for review. This gives the public a voice in identifying rules that affect their daily lives. SB 252 does not automatically eliminate regulations, but it promotes accountability and keeps Connecticut’s regulatory system modern and responsive.
