Welcome to The Bridge Policy Download, produced by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.  James Broughel discusses the US Department of Health and Humans Services (HHS) proposed rule to rescind the Securing Updated and Necessary Statutory Evaluations Timely (SUNSET) rule finalized in January of 2021. The SUNSET rule attaches sunset provisions—i.e., expiration dates—to HHS regulations such that if HHS does not conduct assessments and reviews of regulations on a timely basis, then those regulations expire. Broughel explains the purpose of the SUNSET rule, lists his concerns with the proposed repeal, and then suggests alternative ways agencies can conduct retrospective analysis of regulations.

The Role of the Pharmacy Technician is changing along with the new demands on pharmacists. We discuss the new regulations on Pharmacy Techs with James Broughel, Ph.D. Senior Research Fellow with Mercatus Center at George Mason University Op-Ed Pharm. Tech Regulation James recently wrote an op-ed in the Hill newspaper – a paper read by a lot of people working on Capitol Hill and in government – about putting President Biden's pharmacy plan into action.  This was the President saying he wanted everyone to be able to receive the COVID vaccine by April 19. In the article, James wrote that there is more “that can be done to improve the workings of the pharmacy program. One option is to expand the number of trained pharmacy staff allowed to perform vaccinations.”  Have different states taken different approaches with respect to how they've treated pharmacies during the pandemic? Is there a best and/or worst approach? Paper on Pharm. Tech Regulation James also wrote a recent paper on Pharmacy Technician Ratio Requirements, which talks about how many states limit the number of pharmacy technicians permitted to work under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist at any given time. And we all probably know that with COVID-19, many states with these regulations have relaxed these rules.  You wrote that having less restrictive regulation could actually be an important way to advance public health.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Broughel is a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and an adjunct professor of law at the Antonin Scalia Law School. He specializes in state and federal regulatory procedures, cost-benefit analysis, and economic growth. Today, he applies that expertise to the current COVID-19 pandemic, as he challenges the regulations that have been put in place for testing and suggests reforms that could bring effective tests to the public faster.Dr. Broughel points out a huge problem with federal regulation: While agencies typically do extensive analysis before new regulations are implemented, they rarely do the same for regulations already on the books. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, Dr. Broughel argues that it is critical that existing regulations continue to be scrutinized to better reflect current needs and to expand the ability of healthcare professionals to innovate and serve patients.  Go to NoLabels.org to learn more about how we are bringing together a bipartisan group of public and private leaders working to stop the virus, save lives and get Americans back to work.Follow No Labels •  Twitter  •  Facebook •  Instagram

Even in the middle of a partial federal government shutdown, federal, state, and local agencies continue to play a huge role in the policy world and our everyday lives. Regulations help determine everything from the kind of toothpaste you used this morning to the music you listened to on the radio during your commute to rent prices in your neighborhood, and after an exciting year of regulatory policy in 2018, we're eager to hear more about how the regulatory landscape may change in the year ahead. Here to help walk us through that and to make some predictions about what we might expect from policymakers, we're joined by three terrific guests: Cheryl Bolen, reporter on the White House for Bloomberg BNA, and is well-known as one of the top regulatory journalists in the country Emily Hamilton, economist here at Mercatus focusing on urban economics and land-use policy James Broughel, economist with Mercatus and a law professor specializing in state and federal regulatory procedures   Check out mercatus.org and The Bridge for our latest research, publications, and podcast episodes.

A little over a year and a half ago, President Trump issued his 7th Executive Order. Titled “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,” Executive Order 13771 is better known in regulatory policy circles as the “1-in-2-out” rule. The general idea is that if you have too many regulations, one way to fix the problem is by requiring that regulatory agencies eliminate 2 rules for each new one they implement. Longtime listeners will recall back in May when we discussed the issue briefly, but now that we’ve had a little more time to see the rule in action, we thought the time was right to revisit the issue to see what was working, and where there might be room for improvement in the regulatory reform process. To do that, we’re lucky enough to have Laura Jones back on the show. Laura is a visiting research fellow at Mercatus, and the executive vice president and chief strategic officer of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. We also have James Broughel in studio. James is a research fellow here at Mercatus and an adjunct professor of law at the Antonin Scalia Law School. Much of James’ work lately has focused on quantifying and understanding state-level regulation.  Questions, comments, episode ideas? Follow Chad on Twitter @ChadMReese.
