CLEAR's Sunset, Sunrise and State Agency Audits, an online resource, is now updated in preparation for the upcoming legislative sessions. Sunset is the automatic termination of a regulatory agency unless legislative action is taken to continue it. Sunrise is a process under which an occupation or profession seeking state regulation must propose model legislation, along with cost and benefit estimates of the proposed regulation. All state agencies periodically undergo performance audits, also known as legislative or evaluation audits, in addition to financial audits in some states. Many of these various reports are online and may be located through this CLEAR resource.
