I remember reading somewhere an idea about splitting the legislature into one chamber which solely creates laws, and another which solely sunsets them.
I don't know enough about civics to say if that is a good idea or not, but I certainly found it interesting.
If you're interested in stuff like that, might want to Google some of the news about Idaho's "regulatory reset". I think I have a relatively extreme opinion about how minimalist our laws and government should be and even I'm nervous about how it's going to go, but it will be interesting and I hope it goes well.
We saw some "too many laws and regulations" efforts in Minnesota. It largely was a small government kind of PR stunt as they cleaned up some random rarely used laws... that really we're just sitting there, plus the standard deregulation on behalf of donors that they likely would do anyway....
After there was legislative turnover those folks lost the majority and if only to drive the point home the other party removed a law that shielded husbands from rape charges...if there was a law that needed to be removed that was a good choice, but the other party didn't touch it.
I think to do it right you really need to prepare and study the big picture before you legislate out things on a large scale.
