- Title
- Office of Regulatory Oversight created, regulation of boards and agencies, clearly articulated state policy objectives, review by office of board policies
- Description
The United States Supreme Court recently ruled in the case of North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. FTC that any state board whose membership was dominated by active market participants was not entitled to state action immunity for actions of the board which were deemed a restraint of trade absent a clearly articulated and affirmatively expressed state policy which was actively supervised by the state.
This bill establishes a commission to provide such oversight in order to maintain previously granted state action immunity.
