NDEP Regulation Review
As required by Governor Lombardo's Executive Order 2023-003, NDEP completed a comprehensive review of the regulations it enforces and provided a report to the Governor's Office by May 1, 2023. It detailed how those regulations can be streamlined, clarified, or otherwise improved to ensure they provide for the general welfare of the State without unnecessarily inhibiting economic growth. The report provided recommendations for amendments and a list of no less than ten (10) regulations recommended for removal, ranking them in descending order of priority.
NDEP reviewed all regulations subject to its enforcement. Per EO 2023-003, public hearings were held to vet NDEP's recommended changes, solicit input on the merits of the recommended changes, and identify other regulatory changes stakeholders felt worthy of consideration prior to submitting the report to the Governor's Office.
The public workshops were held on Wednesday and Thursday, March 29-30, 2023. Stakeholder input received during the hearings and via email prior to March 31, 2023, was reflected in the report's summary of findings and recommendations.
