Business Leaders Call CSI Regulatory Reform Tool "Creative," "Excellent," and "Exciting"

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)Business leaders in Ohio have praised this morning's announcement that Ohio's Common Sense Initiative (CSI), overseen by Lt. Governor Jon Husted, will begin using a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool to more efficiently search for overly-burdensome, duplicative, and conflicting regulations. You can see what they are saying below!

A key component to Ohios small-business community during the campaign of 2018 was the promise of an effort to streamline regulations. It is encouraging to see the DeWine Husted Administration living up to that promise. With the use of artificial intelligence, state agencies will now be able to expedite the regulatory review process and weed out those harmful unnecessary regulations that serve to stifle Ohios economic growth. NFIB and our members greatly appreciate these types of efforts to get out of the way of Ohio entrepreneurs and let them continue to serve as the economic engine that drives our state.
"*- Roger Geiger, Vice President and Executive Director for NFIB in Ohio*"
