Streamlining Regulations
The Commission is proposing the following regulations pursuant to Executive Order .01.01.2011.20 that required all State agencies to conduct a comprehensive review of their regulations to see whether they needed to be modified, streamlined, or repealed in order to reduce unnecessary regulations to promote economic growth and job creation.
Commission staff reviewed the Critical Area regulations and found items that require correction, clarification, repeal or other change under the Governor’s Executive Order.
The proposal is currently being reviewed by the AELR Committee and is tentatively expected to be published in the June 15th edition of the Maryland Register. Further updates on the regulations and a link to the proposal will be provided at that time.
