Should all government laws and regulation be suject to sunset

[jacqueg]

Yes those are all stupid, and at least some of them I am sure are never enforced. If you live in one of the states mentioned, here's what you should do. Approach your legislator and sell him or her on the idea that that law should go away. S/he will introduce a bill at your next legislative session, and if you stay on top of the process, you may well get the satisfaction of seeing the results of your idea. You will surely learn a lot about how legislatures really work and what your legislator's life is really like. No need at all to wait for some sunset process to take hold. Just do it.

Is it really allowed to just go find stuff on the Internet and paste it here wholesale, because that's what that list is.

Here's something I found about a few of the items on your list:

#6 In Washington D.C. it is illegal not to recycle cat litter.

Apparently refers to a story of a woman who made cat litter out of recyclable paper and was fined for not recycling the paper. DC Resident Fined $2000 For Not Recycling Cat Litter - Helen Whalen Cohen

You can argue that this was an example of overreaching, but it is not the same as a law requiring recycling of cat litter, as you claim.

#8 In the United States it is illegal to sell natural cures for cancer – even if they work.

There is no such thing as a natural cure for cancer. They don't work and the claims are fraudulent. I don't know about you, but whether it's laetrile or Burzyinski's fraudulent urine-based preparations, I think it's a good thing that medical frauds are prosecuted.

#9 In the state of Massachusetts it is illegal to deface a milk carton.

"Whoever, without the consent of the owner thereof, knowingly and willfully effaces, alters or covers over, or procures to be effaced, altered or covered over, the name, initial or device of any dealer in milk, marked or stamped upon a milk can, . . . "

It has nothing to do with marking up the outside of a milk carton that you bought at the supermarket and everything to do with fraudulently changing the markings on a milk container without the consent of the owner, probably arising out of the days when dairies sold their milk in cans and the can would be marked with the name of the owner, which would be an indication of who is entitled to be paid.

"Should all Government Laws and Regulations be subject to Sunset?"

I'm a big Fan of Sunset provisions - we have a Sunset Law in Texas.
The Texas law is for Agencies and is generally a 12 year time period. They have to prove their relevance and that they are doing what they were created to do. This is more about "programs" that the CongressCritters vote for than "laws" they pass. If you really think about it - it's the Agencies that become entrenched and corrupted. They need serious oversight. The Sunset Law forces them to justify their existence and prove that are doing what was intended, then a review panel vets their Agency report.
