State Representative Cliff Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) has announced the passage of Senate Bill 2 from the Ohio House of Representatives by a vote of 81-14.
This legislation — sponsored by Senator Jim Hughes (R-Clintonville) — is companion legislation to House Bill 94, which would adopt a new small business rule review procedure by defining a process of regulatory reform.
“It is essential for state government in Ohio to practice common sense principles to retain businesses and encourage job growth,” Rep. Rosenberger said. “Cumbersome regulations have cost Ohio jobs and revenue that we cannot afford to lose. I am particularly excited by the creation of the Small Business Advisory Council, which illustrates the message that ‘Ohio is open for business once again’.”
Senate Bill 2 and House Bill 94 outline the role of the Common Sense Initiative (CSI) Office, which was established through Governor John Kasich’s Executive Order 2011-01K to evaluate all regulations from any state governmental agency. The CSI Office will determine if a particular regulation has an adverse effect on businesses by assessing all new rules, while also reevaluating existing rules when they come up for periodic review.
Senate Bill 2 creates the CSI Office and a corresponding Small Business Advisory Council to advise the governor on the adverse impacts that proposed rules might have on small businesses. These functions, established under the Governor’s Office, consolidate existing areas of government and will require no additional state money to begin.
Having passed from both the Senate and the House, Senate Bill 2 now moves to the governor for his signature.[[In-content Ad]]
