regulatory sandbox

The story behind the commercial drone industry’s journey to market is a win for regulatory reform at a federal level. The lessons learned could help streamline waiver programs for other federal agencies.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the PIONEER Act, which would create the first federal regulatory sandbox in the US. Here's what's in the bill.
The sandbox benefits both new and existing businesses. By providing businesses — both big and small — the opportunity to innovate in all industries, it’ll be interesting to see what “next big thing” will come as a result of Arizona’s universal sandbox.
Many education funds come with restrictions on how they can or cannot be spent. The programs mean well, but the money comes with heavy bureaucratic rules. They limit schools’ and teachers' creativity and inhibit innovation.
Instead of three or four sandboxes with different oversight, operating requirements, and administrative capabilities, all the innovative products and services across Utah's broad economy will now be overseen by a single sandbox administrator with a dedicated director, staff, and resources to handle applications for regulatory waivers. 
These bills create an educational environment that is more friendly to innovation by the people who are closest to the programs and students affected by regulatory restrictions.
