Rep. Ryan Wilcox (R)

HB 474 (Limiting Onerous Licensing and Regulation Costs)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill limits state agencies’ compliance costs, lets citizens challenge burdensome occupational rules through the Office of Professional Licensure Review, and mandates agency justification or repeal within 90 days.

Libertas supports this bill. By granting the right to petition the Office of Professional Licensure Review, and requiring a response, this bill offers needed relief to occupations that are over-regulated. By limiting the financial burden of agency rules, this bill also safeguards businesses caught in the web of overly costly regulatory compliance requirements.
