The Independent Regulatory Review Commission website, www.irrc.state.pa.us, is a great resource to find out more information on the Commission and makes keeping up with regulations surprisingly easy.  In addition to multiple search functions, users can subscribe to receive free email notifications on regulations and other IRRC happenings.  Individuals can personalize their accounts to their specific wants and needs.  The website also provides information on how interested parties can comment on a regulation and participate in public meetings.

IRRC was established in 1982 to review regulations of all Commonwealth agencies, with the exception of the Game Commission and the Fish and Boat Commission.  IRRC examines regulations based on specific criteria mandated within the Regulatory Review Act, including legislative intent, economic or fiscal impact, need, and protection of public health, safety and welfare.  In addition to review, IRRC also holds educational workshops for agencies, organizations, and members of the regulated public.
