Cliff Wagner (916) 319-2003
(Sacramento) - Today Assemblyman Dan Logue announced that the Governor's office had released an important study on the cost of state regulations on business in California. The study resulted from the passage of Assembly Bill 2330 (Arambula) in 2006. AB 2330 required the study to be completed and returned to the Legislature on the cost of state regulations on small business in California. This study was completed and turned into the Governor's office in December 2008.
"To my knowledge, no formal study has ever been commissioned by the State of California to examine the costs of regulatory burdens on small business," stated Logue. "The findings of this study are historic and critically important in light of the current state of the economy."
On September 1, 2009, Logue met with a member of the Governor's staff to discuss the report and develop a bi-partisan approach to its findings.
"I will be spending the next few days examining the substance of the report and will be discussing its implications with my colleagues and private industry representatives" added Logue.
