U.S. Representative John Boehner
Making
Bureaucrats Account for the Costs of New Rules on Small Businesses
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) released the
following statement today commending House passage of the Unfunded
Mandates Information & Transparency Act (H.R. 50), legislation
introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), to increase transparency on
the costs of unfunded federal mandates and to ensure that those
affected have the opportunity to provide input on the new rules.
“Having run a small business, I know firsthand how all the rules and
mandates coming out of Washington make it harder to balance the books,
make payroll, and plan for the future. The bureaucrats who write
these rules should understand that too, and they should provide an
honest accounting of what the mandates they hand down will mean for
jobs and the economy. This common-sense jobs bill boosts
transparency and accountability, and gives private-sector employers the
opportunity to weigh in on new mandates. It has now passed the
House three times with bipartisan support, and the president ought to
reconsider his veto threat and work with us to help put more Americans
back to work.”
