Thursday, January 18, 1379 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Irotemimi irewzmm offered c 7T chance to screen snorts 1 - ' Dy JOHN DRAFFORD StaTf Writer The North Carolina sunset commission, formed by the 1977 General Assembly to review more than ICO state regulatory and licensing beards, is a sort of agency on agencies. ' The commission was formed to reduce bureaucracy by weeding out unnecessary agencies, strengthening weak ones, and allowing effective ones to continue. The commission is concerned with a wide range of boards that by law will be abolished unless the General Assembly renews them. If the commission decides that any regulatory agency it reviews is ineffective or not worthwhile, it may recommend to the General Assembly that it be abolished. "The original conception was how can we get rid of layers of bureaucracy," said Paul Vick, chairman of the comrnissionrlrr North Carolina, we have recommended continuation of as many boards as we have recommended abolishment of, to provide better service, provide some cost savings and more efficiency. "Licensing must offer some protection,"" said Paul Jordan, the commission's executive director. "We use serious harm as a threshold for either recommending continuing the license or requesting that it not be continued." The sunset commission's decisions could save North Carolina money, some commission members said. Sam Hays, special assistant to Jordan, said, "Most of these regulation boards they are studying now are self-supporting. With the recommendations we are handing to the commission now, it will save money. The overall procedure should save the state some money." But Jordan said the commission does not produce direct savings for the state. "If savings will occur, they will occur indirectly to the consumer. In general, we do not expect that the review of the licenses will save money because most of them are fee-funded." In his State of the State Address Monday, Gov. Jim Hunt said the sunset commission could lead to indirect savings for consumers by making regulatory agencies more effective. He said the General Assembly should pay careful attention to the commission's recommendations. ,,,"Thp joiajority of, the .programs we -are reviewing do not operate on tax funds," Vick said.

"If you make something more effective and cut out unnecessary money, it follows that you're going to cut some money," Hays said. Despite possible tax savings, everyone is not happy about the commission's recommendations. The commission is recommending that four boards licensing building contractors be abolished and replaced with a single independent board. The commission recommended that the General Assembly abolish licensing boards for electricity, refrigeration, plumbing and heating and general contractors. "The original conception was how can we get rid of layers of bureaucracy. In North Carolina, we have recommended continuation of as many boards as we have recommended abolishment of...." - Paul Vic k i s unset commission chairmsrt Rufiin Bailey,8 attorney for the general contractors, said he disagreed with the commission's findings. "We've done a good job in protecting the public insofar as the statute allows us to," he said. - The boards and agencies being reviewed are of various sizes and represent diverse interests. "They range in size from navigation and piloting licensees to the 32,000 member real estate profession. They range in technology from medical boards, engineers, architects and public accountants to cosmetologists and barbers," Jordan said. To date, the commission has tentatively adopted 10 recommendations. "The report dealing with construction workers' boards recommends consolidation of those four into one. The board for real estate recommends that their law be strengthened," Jordan said. The commission has recommended that five regulatory boards for watchmakers, tile contractors, private detectives, water-well contractors and landscape architects be abolished. "The N.C. sunset commission is patterned after Colqrado's.There are . presently 27 states -with sunset-type commissions, Colorado's being the first," Jordan said. Busch Garden v WilliamsHirK.Va.

Fair said interested students should submit their films to the committee, preferably a few days before scheduled flicks so that films may be screened. The committee wants to give students the opportunity to have their films shown before audiences other than family and friends, he said, but not at the expense of upsetting audiences. "We're not interested in offending patrons who have come to see a film at Carroll," he said. "Showing regular feature films is our main concern." to ; hold ' 11 oil vpltanteer.
