Idaho GOP Governor Brad Little Cuts Red Tape By Historic 40 Percent

GOP Governor Brad Little of Idaho announced that since taking office just six months ago, his administration has cut or simplified burdensome regulations by over 40 percent, breaking the record for the largest regulatory cuts in state history.

Through executive action and administrative leadership, Governor Little has followed through on his campaign promise to reduce red tape for Idaho citizens and businesses by cutting or streamlining a staggering 900 pages of regulations. In his first weeks in office, he issued executive orders called the Red Tape Reduction Act and Licensing Freedom Act of 2019, setting a clear vision for good government reforms. Governor Little then partnered with the state legislature to make even more sweeping changes to Idaho’s Administrative Code.

Through innovative, results-focused leadership, Governor Little is working to create a more transparent and less complex government – making Idaho a national leader in growth-focused reform.
