9/12/05-A new law in Oregon is intended to give small businesses, including trucking companies, a voice in the state’s regulatory process.
Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed the bill requiring certain state agencies to consider the potential negative impact of regulation on small businesses and to consider less burdensome alternatives.
The new law, previously HB3238, also requires state agencies to conduct a review of existing rules every five years to ensure the rule had its intended effect and that there is a continued need for a rule.
