Office of Regulatory Counsel.

California SB688 aimed to create an Office of Regulatory Counsel within the state's government structure. This office would have been responsible for providing guidance and oversight on regulatory matters. However, the bill ultimately did not pass.

Supporters of SB688 believed that establishing an Office of Regulatory Counsel would enhance the efficiency of state regulations and improve communication between government agencies. They argued that this office could help streamline processes and reduce bureaucratic hurdles for businesses and citizens.

Critics of SB688 contended that creating a new office could lead to increased government spending and unnecessary bureaucracy. They argued that existing regulatory frameworks were sufficient and that the bill would complicate rather than simplify the regulatory process.
