Issue Position: Regulation Relief

Issue Position

One of the fastest growing agencies in Texas has been the Department of Licensing and Regulation. Every time a new regulation is passed or a new license is required, it becomes harder for people to start businesses. Liberals often talk about more regulations to protect those with low incomes. However, more regulations actually hurt low-income sole proprietors who don't have staff to fill out forms or monitor rule changes. I know what it is like to run a small business and to be worried about understanding all the rules and regulations. Often our businesses are working in an environment that is really only "mostly free," instead of "free." We have to do better in Texas.
