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
To establish the Office for Regulatory Oversight of Boards and Commission to provide regulatory oversight for actions undertaken by state boards composed of a majority of active market participants.
