Are Regulations Burdensom?
The Florida Legislature just launched "YourVoice" -- an online tool that will survey business owners and stakeholders and ask their opinion about state rules and regulations. "At a time when one out of every ten Floridians is looking for work, the last thing our state needs is for government to come between a business and the creation of new jobs," said House Rulemaking & Regulations Subcommittee Chairman Chris Dorworth (R-Lake Mary). "Our state's citizens are our best source to identify whether or not our state's rules and regulations impose unacceptable burdens and this tool gives lawmakers the ability to directly connect with Floridians across the state," said Senate Committee on Governmental Oversight and Accountability Chairman Senator Jeremy Ring (D- Margate). Those interested in completing the survey can access it online here. |
