The REINS Act in North Carolina threatens to undermine important regulatory safeguards that protect the well-being and safety of our state's citizens. Imposing onerous legislative approval requirements on rules with a significant economic impact could delay or prevent the implementation of vital regulations aimed at safeguarding public health, environmental protection, and consumer rights. While regulatory oversight is necessary, the proposed $20 million threshold for legislative review is excessive and could impede the state's ability to respond swiftly to emerging issues. I urge you to uphold Governor Stein's veto and reject this legislation, as it jeopardizes the state's capacity to enact timely and essential regulations for the greater good of all North Carolinians.
