The Regulation Review Committee should remain bipartisan. We have 26 legislative committees that are divided proportionally between the majority and minority parties—and one important committee where half the members are Democrats and half are Republicans. The structure of this committee is deliberate and serves as the last check on the executive branch prior to implementing the intent of the legislature. The proposed bill (HB 5554) to alter the committee’s makeup would upend its long tradition of bipartisanship and could have a ripple effect across the entire General Assembly.
