Americans for Prosperity-Kentucky Cheers Progress of REINS Bill
Senate Licensing and Occupations Committee Advances SB 20
Frankfort, KY – Today, Americans for Prosperity – Kentucky (AFP-KY) applauds the advancement of Sen. Nunn’s legislation, SB 20, through the Senate Licensing and Occupations Committee. This bill, regarding the Regulations from the Executive In Need Of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, is a critical step towards fostering transparency and accountability in the rulemaking process.
A final floor vote for SB 20 will be set up after HB 6, the House companion bill, goes to committee tomorrow.
AFP-KY State Director Heather LeMire released the following statement:
“Burdensome government regulations hinder growth, stifle economic development, and make life harder for everyday Kentuckians. The REINS Act is a necessary step to ensure regulatory policies work in the best interest of the people, not bureaucratic interests.
“Today, we thank Sen. Nunn for his leadership and applaud the Senate Licensing and Occupations Committee for advancing this critical piece of legislation. This is a major step towards breaking down barriers to growth within our rulemaking process.
“AFP-KY is committed to working closely with lawmakers to advance the REINS Act and fast-track it into law. We’re excited to see the progress in the House tomorrow and move this legislation to the floor, ultimately making our state a better place to live for all Kentuckians.”
