Rokita Statement on the President's Executive Order Regarding Regulations

Statement

Date: Jan. 30, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch Government Operations

Rep. Todd Rokita issued this release following President Trump's signing of an executive order requiring the revocation of two existing regulations for every new one:

"I have been fighting government red tape and federal regulations since coming to Congress in 2011, and today President Trump has given us a tool to undo many of the burdensome regulations of the past eight years. These regulations have stifled innovation, and kept job growth at a historically low rate. Rolling them back will prove to be a win for Hoosiers and the small businesses across our state."

Rep. Rokita's efforts to fight government overreach and bureaucracy are highlighted in the Red Tape Rollback Reports. Red Tape Rollback is Rep. Rokita's signature regulatory reform program, which to date has secured over 60 victories on behalf of Hoosiers and businesses.
