On February 2, representatives of the John Locke Foundation proposed a state-based REINS (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) Act. The law would block North Carolina agencies from enacting major administrative rules and require the General Assembly to sign off on executive actions before they’re implemented. They hope for a regulatory process that is more transparent and accountable to citizens.
