Florida Governor Rick Scott to Create State Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform Today To Review All Existing and Future Regulations for Job Creation Feasibility
Jan 4, 2011
In his Inaugural Address after being sworn in as Florida’s 45th Governor today, January 4, 2011, Rick Scott indicated that, also today, he will sign an Executive Order creating a state office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform to review all proposed and existing regulations to determine their impact on job creation.
In his Address, Governor Scott also emphasized his commitment to tort reform, saying that “Every Floridian should have the right to access the court system for redress of harm. But, we will not allow excessive lawsuits to strangle job creation. And we will not allow a small group of predatory lawyers to stalk the business community in search of deep pockets.”
