29 Del. C. § 1131: Legislative findings.

The General Assembly has conferred on boards, commissions, departments, and other agencies of the Executive Branch of State Government the authority to adopt regulations. The General Assembly has found that this delegation of authority has resulted in regulations being promulgated without effective review or oversight and conformity to legislative intent. The General Assembly finds that it must provide a procedure of oversight and review of regulations under this delegation of legislative power to curtail excessive regulations and to establish a system of accountability. The intent of this subchapter is to establish an effective method of ongoing review, accountability, and oversight of regulations. Further intent of this subchapter is to provide review by requiring a comment period following the proposal of regulations and requiring the agency to review any comments submitted.
