Activity 15

Activity I:

The phrase "sunset legislation" is used in the United States to refer to established and

implemented laws a few years ago but have since been repealed. There is not just one piece

of sunset legislation generating a stir in the United States; others are. The United Kingdom

has also embraced it. Numerous people and countries worldwide have adopted this kind of

control for their respective industries' organizations and programs. In other words, a sunset

law is a piece of legislation that applies to a particular benefit, law, or agency and is designed

to terminate that benefit, law, or agency automatically on a certain date, such as the end of an

accounting year, if the legislation's criteria are not satisfied (Vasileiou et al., 2018). Sunset

regulations come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Numerous government agencies,

legislation, and programs will be forced to shut their doors due to the legislature's inability to

update long-standing legal requirements quickly enough.

Additionally, these regulations require that a program establish its true independence

from the government to continue functioning under these circumstances. This implies that

programs be self-sustaining in the absence of external assistance. Programs that serve a

limited number of individuals are no longer viable. As a result of the sunset law, a more

proactive structure for legislative oversight has been devised and is now being advanced.

Activity II:

The idea may get support even if it cannot receive funding for economic reasons.

These traits may be political or sociological, depending on how they have seen and impacted

society. Let us first explore why certain system functions are important but not economically

justifiable. The following sections discuss the political and social reasons why certain efforts

succeed and others fail. A framework is necessary to address long-standing market

deficiencies. This will take time. If the program is new or involves several services, the
 3

government may help (BonJour, 2020). To promote the economy, the government may

improve the market for a certain project, benefitting the participants. Even if the activity is

not financially viable, it may serve a particular group of people in need of humanitarian

assistance.

Along with economic backing, climate change research and mitigation may help a

project. Supporting issues like poverty and homelessness need no justification. As a result of

my study and personal experiences, I became aware of several of these projects. While

humanitarian aid is not commercially viable, it is an industry that sometimes obtains support.
