(5 ILCS 80/7) (from Ch. 127, par. 1907)
Sec. 7. Additional criteria. In determining whether to recommend to the General Assembly under Section 5 the continuation of a regulatory agency or program or any function thereof, the Governor shall also consider the following criteria:
(1) whether the absence of regulation would
significantly harm or endanger the public health, safety or welfare;
(2) whether there is a reasonable relationship
between the exercise of the State's police power and the protection of the public health, safety or welfare;
(3) whether there is another less restrictive method
of regulation available which could adequately protect the public;
(4) whether the regulation has the effect of directly
or indirectly increasing the costs of any goods or services involved, and if so, to what degree;
(5) whether the increase in cost is more harmful to
the public than the harm which could result from the absence of regulation; and
(6) whether all facets of the regulatory process are
designed solely for the purpose of, and have as their primary effect, the protection of the public.
