Governor Brad Little is deeply committed to reducing regulations and cleaning up outdated laws that only serve to confuse and burden Idaho citizens and businesses.
In his first year as Idaho’s 33rd Governor, Brad Little worked with the Idaho Legislature to achieve historic cuts to Idaho regulations. The administrative code was cut by 20 percent and significantly simplified by another 20 percent. Governor Little and the Legislature expect further regulatory cuts in the coming months and years.
