Taylor Accepting Applications for Small
Business Advisory Council
Members will advise CSI Ohio on business impact of new rules and
regulations
Columbus - Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor today announced that she is accepting
applications to fill five seats on the nine-member Small Business
Advisory Council established in state law as part of CSI Ohio: The
Common Sense Initiative.
“We are looking for individuals with a small-business background who
can provide guidance to CSI Ohio as we review new rules and regulations
and identify those that place adverse financial burdens on Ohio’s job
creators,” Taylor said. “It is important for us to achieve the right
balance of regulations that don’t hinder our small business community,
yet protects the health and safety of all Ohioans.”
The nine-member Small Business Advisory Council was established in
Senate Bill 2 (Hughes), which Gov. John R. Kasich signed into law on
March 4, 2011. The council will meet at least quarterly and is charged
with advising the governor, lieutenant governor and CSI Ohio on the
adverse impact government rules and regulations have on small
businesses.
Taylor will appoint five members of the nine-member council, while the
president of the Ohio Senate and Speaker of the Ohio House of
Representatives will each appoint two additional members. State law
requires each of the members to possess a small business background and
represent businesses of various types, sizes and geographic locations
within Ohio.
Taylor urges those interested in seeking an appointment to the council
to contact her office at 614-728-6716 or CSIOhio@governor.ohio.gov.
Applicants must also complete a boards and commissions application
located here. The deadline for application submissions is May 6,
2011.
CSI Ohio was launched on January 10, 2011 by Gov. John R. Kasich to
reform Ohio’s regulatory policies to help make Ohio a jobs and
business-friendly state. CSI Ohio will review Ohio’s regulatory system
to eliminate excessive and duplicative rules and regulations that stand
in the way of job creation.
