"Thanks to Governor Gianforte’s Red Tape Relief Initiative, the Legislature appears to be striking a better balance between preserving Montana’s innate beauty and ensuring all Montanans can thrive."
"Most concerning is the near complete lack of functional oversight and accountability by the Judicial Standards Commission (JSC), the official supervisory body for the judicial branch."
"Ensuring the independence, impartiality and integrity of the judiciary should be a Montana issue, not a partisan issue."
"Licensure reforms to reduce protectionist conflicts of interest and eliminate burdensome red tape are a big step forward in removing barriers to work and unleashing Montana’s economic potential."
"As lawmakers look to strengthen the rights of Montanans, limiting the judiciary’s bias towards government could be a powerful way to ensure the courts err on the side of liberty by limiting the accumulated power of unelected regulators."
"Whether repealing clearly absurd laws or amending dysfunctional rules, one thing is clear: Montanans can expect 2023 to bring some unprecedented red tape relief. That’s something to celebrate."
"The government’s power to regulate must be limited to actions of genuine public concern, not the whims of NIMBYs or special interest groups seeking to use regulations to destroy whole industries."
"Just two years in, the Red Tape Relief Initiative has prompted at least 78 separate legislative proposals from state agencies that we’ve identified which advance the initiative’s mandate, meaning massive Red Tape Relief is on the way for Montanans in 2023."
"Ensuring a small and efficient government requires proposals like this to ensure you are spending more time with customers and clients and less time staring at regulations."
"Montana is uniquely positioned to become a national leader in energy abundance, but only if we address the government barriers standing in the way."

"That’s why Governor Gianforte’s Red Tape Relief Initiative is so important, it tasks agencies with conducting a top-to-bottom regulatory review to identify and repeal excessive, outdated and unnecessary regulations."
