Waivers Extended
The state Senate passed SB 1019 this week by a 49-0 vote. Introduced by Senator Michelle Brooks, the legislation would further provide for COVID-19 regulatory flexibility authority, essentially extending some of the waivers and require the Departments to submit reports to the legislature by May 31, 2022, of any waived rules or regulations that should be made permanent.
