Ohio Think Tank Recommends Legislative Cuts to State Regulations
What happened
The Buckeye Institute has expressed concern over unelected bureaucrats holding excessive authority within state agencies. The institute proposed that Ohio lawmakers pass specific bills during the lame duck session to ensure elected officials are responsible for government regulations imposed on Ohioans. These proposals include moving the Common Sense Initiative, created under former Governor John Kasich in 2011, to the legislature and requiring legislative approval for agency rules involving compliance costs exceeding $100,000.

Why it matters
The proposed legislative changes aim to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses operating in Ohio. By requiring legislative oversight of agency rules and compliance costs, the proposals could alter the operating environment for companies in the state. The institute also suggested adding legislative control over rules involving the Department of Education and Workforce.
