Rules Commission

Rules Review Commission: Before a North Carolina law is implemented via specific rules and regulations, it must first go before a group known as the Rules Review Commission. The ten-member board is selected by the state legislature, operates under the executive branch of government, and was given veto power in 1995. Some interests — environmental groups in particular — argue the board is dominated by business advocates and has too much influence in the lawmaking process. Host Melinda Penkava talks with Jennifer Strom, writer of a critical profile of the Rules Review Commission for The Independent Weekly, and Joe DeLuca, staff attorney for the Commission since 1989.
