Excerpt from Federal Mandates on State and Local Governments: Hearing Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress First Session November 3, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:33 a.m., in room SD-342, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Glenn, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Glenn, Levin, Sasser, Lieberman, Dorgan, Roth, Cohen, Cochran, and Bennett. Opening Statement Of Chairman Glenn Chairman Glenn. The hearing will be in order. Good morning. Today, the Governmental Affairs Committee meets to discuss the costs and burdens that unfunded Federal mandates often place on State and local governments. As many of my colleagues are aware, last week State and local officials from all over the U.S. gathered here in Washington to send a message to the Federal Government, and the message was very simple: stop burdening us with your responsibilities, your paperwork, your regulations, unless you give us the help to go with it. In layman´s terms, I guess they came to Washington and said stop passing the buck without the bucks, and they make a very good case. Estimates by the Congressional Budget Office show that the cost to State and local governments of Federal legislative and regulatory mandates rose from $225 million in 1986 to $2.8 billion in 1991, and they tell us that is a very, very conservative estimate. While the CBO data is limited in scope, it clearly shows that the cost of Federal mandates has been increasing at the same time that Federal aid to comply with those mandates has been declining. One area that is particularly burdensome on small governments is compliance with Federal environmental mandates. A study by the city of Columbus, Ohio, showed that compliance costs of Federal environmental laws, just environmental laws and regulations, in nine Ohio metropolitan areas would rise from $183 million in 1992 to $301 million by 1996, just in a 4-year period. This translates into an indirect tax of $225 per household, up from $137 in 1992. Clearly, Federal regulatory and legislative burdens are increasing at a time when State and local resources are tight. No one needs reminding of the budget problems faced by our State and local governments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
