Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order on Thursday to rescind more than 200 executive orders, almost all of which had been issued before he took office. He said this move would make the government more efficient.
From 2019 through Thursday, Polis has issued 586 executive orders, not including clemency orders, which are another form of executive order. The high watermark was 2020’s COVID-19 year, when he issued 316.
Only two of the 208 orders he canceled on Thursday were orders he issued — one from 2019 and another from 2020.
