COLUMBUS—Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman (R-Lima) today announced the passage of Senate Bill 9, a comprehensive regulatory reform effort.
“The goal is to reduce rules and regulations by 30% agency to agency. This will simplify the cost of doing business by maintaining rules relatable to today’s industry standards, and remove regulations that are no longer relevant,” said President Huffman.
The Mercatus Center conducted a study on states with the most burdensome regulatory code. Ohio finished third, behind New York in second place and California received the dubious honor of the most overly regulated state in the nation.
Senate Bill 9 sponsors, State Senators Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson) and Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) spoke about the importance of this bill continuing the work of Senate Bill 1 from the previous General Assembly.
"We have a responsibility to Ohioans to do a deep dive into Ohio's regulations and ensure they do not create needless barriers to growth for our economy," said Senator Roegner.
"Overly burdensome regulations are a barrier to policies that promote economic success and job growth in our state. They also affect local government and private institutions alike," said Senator McColley. "I am proud to once again join my Senate colleagues in passing this important legislation, and strongly encourage its swift passage in the Ohio House."
Senate Bill 9 will now go to the House of Representatives for further consideration.
