AFP: Trump’s Executive Orders to Remove Barriers A Win for Every American

Oct 9, 2019 by AFP

Arlington, VA – Today, President Trump signed two Executive Orders that will level the economic playing field for American workers and improve transparency in government. The “Transparency and Fairness” Executive Order protects Americans against secret or unlawful bureaucratic interpretations of rules and guards against unfair or unexpected penalties for non-compliance. The “Bringing Guidance out of the Darkness” Executive Order stops agencies from skirting the laws that let the American public provide input on government rules that can limit their freedom.

Americans for Prosperity Director of Regulatory Initiatives Mary Kate Hopkins issued the following statement:

“President Trump is delivering on a promise he made to voters when he took office by making government more accountable to the people. The president’s efforts to remove the barriers holding people back have already helped to spur unprecedented economic growth, and he is continuing to put a spotlight on the need for greater government transparency. Together, these reform efforts will have a real impact on American households who stand to see greater opportunity, lower costs, and more money in their pockets in the years to come. We applaud the administration’s work in continuing to pursue these important reforms and encourage them to keep the momentum going.”
