Regulatory Reform

It is imperative that Pennsylvania not enact laws or regulations that place the commonwealth at a competitive disadvantage to our competitor states. Laws and regulations should not be more stringent than federal regulations or laws unless there is a compelling reason that is unique to our commonwealth. Environmental regulations should be adopted based on sound scientific evidence to ensure that they are reasonable and within technological limits. It is prudent that these regulations actually achieve real environmental benefits and do not advantage one sector of the economy to the detriment of another.
