No New Burdens principle

The No New Burdens principle means that government initiatives should not create additional paperwork, obligations, or costs for individuals and organizations unless explicitly authorized by law. Its goal is to ensure that government actions are efficient and not unnecessarily burdensome, respecting the time and resources of those affected. Essentially, it maintains that any new requirements should be justified, proportionate, and supported by clear legal authority, helping to prevent unwarranted administrative burdens in public and private sectors.
