State lawmakers are moving to effectively stand state regulation of businesses on their head, requiring government agencies to prove their rules and restrictions are necessary.
On a 5-3 margin Jan. 27 the House Commerce Committee voted to require every city and county government and state agency to review every regulation and detail how each is necessary to protect public health, safety or welfare. It then mandates that the restrictions be modified or repealed if they do not serve those purposes.
