Pennsylvania Statutes Title 71 P.S. State Government § 2013. Findings and policy

(1) The General Assembly finds that, in the Commonwealth, businesses, particularly small businesses, and the public have been increasingly burdened by the forms and paperwork required by State agencies.

(2) Confusing forms, duplicative reporting requirements and other unnecessary paperwork increase costs to businesses, especially small businesses and consumers, and contribute to inefficient government operations.

(3) Further, many governmental forms and publications have become outmoded, others are reproduced in such manner that the costs become excessive and still others are produced or reproduced by different departments causing overlapping and duplication of effort.

(4) In addition, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania produces pamphlets, periodicals and similar publications that are unneeded, costly or self-serving.
