DescriptionA Pennsylvania Senate Committee has approved a bill that would limit Gov. Tom Wolf‘s – and future governors’ – economic power.

Senate Bill 561, introduced by Republican Sen. John DiSanto of Dauphin County, would bar the governor from enacting regulations with an economic impact exceeding $1 million without legislative approval.

DiSanto said in a statement that the bill would “reinforce the constitution’s balance of powers” as well as “strengthen political accountability for regulatory policy and protect our economy from undue burdens on business and job creation.”
