Cutler Appoints Regulatory Review Administrator as House Republicans Continue to Prioritize Executive Oversight
Oct. 17, 2024
HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) announced today he has appointed Michaele Totino, Esq. as the caucus' permanent Regulatory Review Administrator as House Republicans continue to prioritize executive oversight and reining in Pennsylvania's bloated administrative state.
"Through the work and leadership of House Republicans, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission recently found that many regulations on the books were no longer in the public interest. Through the appointment of a Regulatory Review Administrator, Pennsylvania House Republicans will provide constant vigilance to ensure government is continuing to work for the people," Cutler said.
"As we have seen with regulatory debacles like Pennsylvania's entrance into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, regulations have the ability to increase costs on Pennsylvanians when they avoid the constitutionally mandated authority of the legislature," Cutler added. "Our Regulatory Review Administrator will work directly with standing committees to review regulations so as to minimize the burdens of an ever-increasing and largely unchecked administrative state."
According to Cutler, Attorney Totino will be responsible for constant review of old and new regulations across all state government platforms and working with, and reporting directly to, House Republican leadership to chart the caucus's administrative oversight strategy.
"Attorney Totino has significant experience in regulatory and oversight matters with a history at the Independent Regulatory Review Commission, the Pennsylvania Senate and the Pennsylvania House of Representatives," Cutler said. "Her appointment as the caucus' Regulatory Review Administrator will ensure the House Republican Caucus continues to deliver on the General Assembly's core functions to legislate, appropriate and provide oversight of executive agencies."
House State Government Committee Republican Chairman Brad Roae (R-Crawford/Erie) praised the hiring of Attorney Totino to take on the role of Regulatory Review Administrator on behalf of the House Republican Caucus.
"Attorney Totino is the perfect person for the position and will greatly enhance our efforts to rein in excessive regulations that make Pennsylvania less competitive," Roae said.
Totino will begin her work immediately.
