deregulator
Oversight elimination advocate
A deregulator is a person or entity that removes or reduces government regulations, typically in a particular industry.
The term often describes politicians, officials, or agencies that advocate for or implement policies scaling back regulatory oversight: The new administration appointed deregulators to lead environmental agencies.
The word carries political connotations—praised by free-market advocates, criticized by those who see regulation as protective.
