viewpoint Regulation Rightfully Legislative Function BY James R. Hurley • TRENTON — One of the major ta^ks. facing the New Jersey Legislature during this coming-term is the job of getting re-involved in the regulatory process and exercising our duties and rights under the legislative oversight law we enacted earlier this year. Taxation is a major problem in this state, and we must pay special sttention to state spending and budgeting, in order to keep taxation to the minimum, if not cut it. BUT IT IS APPARENT from every indication I have seen, whiah includes a survey by our Republican Economic Steering Committee to Upgrade Employment (RESCUE), that regulations are considered an even bigger problem by people trying to do business in New Jersey. Thousands of regulations adopted by bureaucratic agencies over the past several years are simply ridiculous. But many others are in conflict with other regulations, unfair and unduly costly to their targets, unnecessary, or simply unjustified by the laws which they purport to enforce. A casual glance at some recently adopted state regulations, which inspired this column, is worth sharing:. ONE REQUIRES OFF-DUTY school buses to display "Out of Service" signs while traveling on the Turnpike. Are they afraid children walking to school along the Turnpike will try to board a school bus without such a sign? Another new regulation requires veterinarians to keep medical records of their non-human patients for five years and to give copies of these records to the owners of the patients. This is one of those rules that is hard to argue with in principle: Surely, pet owners should be given medical records on their pets if they want them. But does it make sense to force every pet owner to pay higher veterinarian fees to cover the cost of all that paperwork on animals that may have long since died, or whose owners have moved to Hawaii? THEN THERE IS the one that has received some public attention recently. It makes it illegal for a business to fail to keep an appointment'■at a customer's home unless it notifies the customer the previous day. So if your delivery truck breaks down in\the morning, or one of your repair jobs turns into a catastrophe, that’s tough. You broke the law; you pay the penalty. Of course, the scatter-brained customer who is never home when you arrive at the appointed time has a perfect right to be inconsiderate no matter how much it costs you for each attempt to deliver. Bureaucrats really should not be writing, enfteting and enforcing such laws — and make no mistake about it, they are laws. The legislative process was created centuries ago for very good reasons, and it works very well. But the N.J. Legislatuve — though it is not alone — has abdicated its powers and duties increasingly qver several decades and handed much of the power of legislation to the bureaucracy. THE RESULT has been a massive proliferation of laws that nobody ever heard of except a handful of insiders; laws that you don't know exist until you run afoul of them. If you are in business, you run afoul of them frequently, and it costs you a great deal of time and money to keep yourself informtd of new regulations and to comply with them. What we really have is government, not by elected representatives, but by appointed overseers who have never had to make a public speech on their views, who answer to no one but their Immediate superior, who is also appointed, or who answer to the Governor. Thus, what we have is one-man government. This is hardly what was intended by the Constitution. And it is a situation that must be corrected. I'll keep you posted. James R. Hurley, Assembly minority leaier, is the newly-elected Senator for Cape May-CumberlaHd.
