YCT Yea. SB 1995 stipulates several new rules, including the creation of a new division within the Office of the Governor, to combat cartel-like behavior from state agencies. These state agencies are frequently led by individuals with a vested interest in the industry they are regulating and need oversight to ensure they do not engage in self-dealing behavior.
