Description
Summary:This Piece lumps the process of reviewing and prioritizing regulations into a broad term called "regulatory triage" and argues that this is an important time for deploying this type of system, although with great caution. Changes to rules and the agencies that write and enforce them must progress in a manner that takes into account the values of a diverse set of stakeholders, including the individuals who could be the most negatively impacted by the loss of regulatory protections. This Piece proposes that as the next wave of political reform sweeps the country, agencies should build from previous lessons regarding comparative regulatory assessment and form stakeholder groups tasked with prioritizing the preservation of rules, agency offices, and enforcement efforts that address the greatest societal problems. Agencies should take into account these recommendations as they change rules, offices and staffing, and enforcement priorities.
