The Governor's Office of Regulatory Reform (GORR) focuses on oversight
of State regulations, provides information on regulatory requirements,
and attempts to expedite regulatory approval.

This Office is included in the Public Protection and General
Government appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Governor recommends a State Operations General Fund appropriation
of $3,702,000.  This amount reflects a SFY 2002-03 increase of
$118,000, or 3.3 percent over SFY 2001-02, attributable to the
following:

--     a $241,000 net increase to reflect salary adjustments;

--     a $123,000 net decrease in funding associated with extending
       the schedule for implementation of the Online Permit and
       Licensing (OPAL) system, and elimination of 3 vacant FTE
       positions.
