In conducting its review of an agency, the Legislative Commission shall obtain, and consider in determining the need for the continued operation of the agency, answers to the following questions:
1. Is there a reasonable relationship between this exercise of the state’s police power and the protection of the public health, safety or welfare? Would the absence or reduction of regulation by this agency significantly harm or endanger the public health, safety or welfare?
2. Is there another, less restrictive, method of regulation which could adequately protect the public?
3. Does regulation have the effect of directly or indirectly increasing the cost of any goods or services involved and, if so, is the increase justified by the protection provided to the public?
4. Are any of the agency’s programs or objectives duplicated by other governmental agencies or nonprofit organizations or by private enterprise?
