> The Governor's Small Business Reform Task Force was established by the
Small Business Regulatory Reform Act of 2000 to "identify problems and
ideas
from the small business community concerning the regulation, communication,
and assistance of state government with small business." The three (3)
goals of the task force are: (1) create a website to solicit public input;
(2) conduct at least four public hearings around the state to seek advice
and recommendations; and (3) conduct a study to consider the problems
encountered by small businesses working with different levels of
government,
different offices in state and local government, and multiple
jurisdictions,
especially in the context of applying for and obtaining required permits
and
licenses. The task force will report its findings and recommendations to
the Governor and the Legislature.
