IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REGULATORY

REVIEW AND EVALUATION ACT

WHEREAS, During the 1985 regular session, the General Assembly
enacted the Regulatory Review and Evaluation Act requiring a
review of existing State administrative regulations over a
5-year period, which Act was signed into law and became
effective July 1, 1985 (Chapter 727); and

WHEREAS, While State government has an obligation to promulgate
and enforce regulations for the protection of the health,
safety and welfare of the citizens of the State, these
regulations should be the least burdensome as possible to
the citizens and regulated entities of the State while
accomplishing the purposes for which they were adopted; and

WHEREAS, The Regulatory Review and Evaluation Act requires the
Governor to issue an executive order to establish a review
schedule and further implement the Act;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY HUGHES, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF
MARYLAND, BY VIRTUE OF THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME BY THE
CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF MARYLAND, HEREBY PROMULGATE THE
FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE ORDER:

I. Purpose.
