Definición

  • A “sunset law” or “sunset provision” is a law that provides for the automatic termination of a government program, agency, or law on a certain date, unless the legislature affirmatively acts to renew it. Sunset laws were widely promoted in the United States in the 1970s as reform measures to eliminate bloated and unresponsive government bureaucracies.
