Gov. Greitens signs regulatory freeze and review
On Tuesday, Gov. Greitens signed Executive Order 17-03, freezing all new regulations and ordering a mandatory review of every regulation currently on the books.
The executive order requires state agencies to get approval from the Governor’s office before making any new rules. If a rule doesn’t deliver results, it will be eliminated. This announcement was first made on Facebook Live, where Gov. Greitens was surrounded with pages of regulation.
“Burdensome regulations hurt businesses and they hurt working families across the state of Missouri. Today, I’m signing an executive order that immediately freezes all regulations. We came here to cut government and help people,” said Gov. Greitens.
