Reasons to support this legislation.
Supporters of the proposed legislation emphasize that small businesses are disproportionately affected by the complexity and frequency of regulatory changes, highlighting the need for streamlined processes and clear timelines to ensure compliance. They argue that Oregon's frequent rulemakings exacerbate this issue, leaving many small business owners with insufficient time to prepare and adapt. This concern is echoed in their calls for increased support and resources to help businesses navigate these changes, ultimately promoting economic growth and stability.
