63I-1-102. Agency defined -- Periodic termination of statutes and agencies -- Legislative review.
(1)As used in this chapter, "agency" means any state authority, board, commission, department, division, office, or other agency, and the statute that established it.
(2)The Legislature finds that the state should not regulate any area unless the regulation is necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
(3)In order to make state government more productive and responsive to the people, it is necessary to place many of the statutes and agencies of state government under Part 2, Repeal Dates Requiring Committee Review by Title , on a reauthorization schedule. Any statute or agency scheduled for termination under this chapter is terminated unless the Legislature through affirmative act reauthorizes its existence. The continued existence of a statute or agency subject to this chapter may not be reauthorized for a period of more than 10 years.
(4)It is the purpose of this chapter to terminate any statute or agency that is not meeting a clear public purpose, and to improve the ability of state government to meet and fulfill legitimate public purposes.
