Introducing the Small Business Owner State Regulatory Tool Kit

• Most small business owners understand regulations are a necessity, but the degree to which small businesses are regulated must be continually evaluated.
• Having reviewed thousands of rules since its inception, Ohio’s Common Sense Initiative has provided a model for beginning to address and dismantle cumbersome, outdated regulations.
• COSE will continue to advocate for that work, on your behalf, and actively encourages federal and local authorities to take the same steps to support the reduction of unnecessary costs and challenges for small business owners.
• But, how can a small business owner stay informed, participate, provide feedback, and offer solutions when faced with a state regulatory challenge?
