Minnesota Business Licensing Study: A Report to the Minnesota State Legislature

摘要

Problems associated with state licensing regulation have been both federal and state concerns. The passage of the Environmental Coordination Procedures Act provided a statutory initiative for improved coordination of licensing and permitting and for direct service and assistance to those seeking environmental permits. Minnesota businesses and the activities of other states the Minnesota legislature recognized that a problem might exist in the number, kind, and procedures of licenses and permits necessary for the start-up, operation and expansion of a business. That recognition resulted in the passage of Chapter 246, requiring the Department of Economic Development to conduct a comprehensive study of state licenses and permits for operation of a business. The study has had four major goals. Collection, organization, identification, recommendation and development for legislative consideration of proposed statutory language to implement the recommendations made.
