Goal:
Promote jobs by reducing business costs and administrative burdens, and provide greater consistency between state and federal laws.
Some of the biggest barriers to job creation and economic growth are the high costs of doing business and the administrative burdens placed on employers. Policymakers can increase business confidence—and jobs--by making it easier for businesses to compete here.
