Regulatory Flexibility
In an effort to minimize the regulatory burden on small business, Act 143 of 2007 created regulatory flexibility in Arkansas by challenging Arkansas's regulatory agencies to establish rules and regulations to protect citizens while being mindful of the financial burden that over-regulation can impose on small business owners.
Patricia Brown, director of AEDC's Minority Business Development Division, is the point of contact for regulatory flexibility. For more information, contact Pat at 501-682-2559 or pbrown@arkansasedc.com. To expedite the review process, all submissions should be emailed to:
