Sunset Law reshapes Colorado regulatory boards
Colorado debuts the 1976 Sunset Law forcing more than 40 state boards to sunset unless they justify survival. The act creates seven year reviews, shifts burden to agencies, and targets licensing practices seen as restricting competition. Common Cause backs the move as curbing regulatory obesity and protecting consumers. Pennsylvania faces similar licensing scrutiny amid federal findings on board rigidity.
