Today, Governor Mike Braun and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management released a report identifying regulations to be changed or rescinded to “support business development, job creation, and economic growth, while also striving to ensure responsible environmental protection and stewardship.”
“Government naturally drifts toward over-regulation, and it’s important to go through these regulations to make sure they aren’t stifling innovation an raising the cost of living for no benefit. My agencies have been directed to identify regulations that are raising the cost of living without benefiting our environment so they can be changed or rescinded; we can grow our economy while also safeguarding Hoosiers’ health and preserving our natural resources.” - Governor Mike Braun
On March 12, Governor Braun signed an executive order focused on growing our economy while preserving our natural resources by limiting environmental regulations to the robust federal standards.
Part of this executive order was a directive to state agencies involved with environmental regulation to identify "state environmental regulations that are unduly burdensome, significantly raise the cost of living for Hoosiers, are not supported by current law and the best available science, or do not benefit Indiana’s environment” and report them to the Governor to be revisited or rescinded.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management issued this report today on regulations that may be “unduly burdensome, significantly raise the cost of living for Hoosiers, not supported by current law and the best available science, or do not benefit Indiana's environment.”
The report identifies 10 regulations for consideration to be changed or rescinded.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management also solicited public feedback on regulations and received ideas from farmers, small business owners, and local government on regulations and practices they view as outdated, overly burdensome, or could be improved to work better for its intended purpose.
