MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #97162'
BY: Commissioner Nancy Dingeldey
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT SENATE BILL 981 -
REGULATORY IMPROVEMENT ACT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Senator Fred Thompson and Senator Carl Levin are engaged in a
bipartisan effort to improve the Federal rulemaking process with the introduction of Senate
Bill 981 - the Regulatory Improvement Act of 1997, and
WHEREAS this legislation would ensure that federal agencies make rational and
transparent regulatory decisions, mindful of the burdens faced by State and local
governments, and
WHEREAS the Regulatory Improvement Act promotes the public's right to know
how and why agencies make regulatory decisions and provides public access to regulatory
decisions and analysis, and
WHEREASthis legislation requires that federal agencies consider and disclose the
benefits, as well as, burdens of major rules including rules adversely affecting state, local or
tribal governments, and
WHEREAS the Regulatory Improvement Act would improve the quality of
government decisions by having federal agencies conduct independent peer reviews of
scientific and economic information utilized in risk assessment and cost-benefit analyses
related to major rules, and
WHEREAS the Regulatory Improvement Act would increase government
accountability by requiring federal agencies to explain any legal impediment or other factor
hindering them from issuing cost-effective rules and this act formalizes the role of the Office
of Management and Budget in the regulatory review process and requires the disclosure of
outside contacts with the OMB during its review.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby support Senate Bill 981 - The Regulatory Improvement Act of
1997 and its efforts to improve the quality of government decision making by making agency
regulations more open, cost-effective and accountable to the people it serves.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urges the nation's leaders to support this legislation which will address our
burdensome regulatory system and deters the promulgation of unnecessarily regulation
which interferes in the lives of people and the efficient operation of businesses and State and
local units of government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
Oakland County legislators, the Governor, the Michigan Association of Counties, and to
Oakland County's legislative agents.
