Holden Creates Committee To Study Farming Regulations

Governor Bob Holden says Missouri farmers are too often hindered by regulations that keep them from being as productive and profitable as possible. So, he’s forming a committee to review the regulations out there affecting agriculture. Holden says state agencies will have to submit certain proposed regulations to the committee for review at least a month before a new rule is filed with the Secretary of State’s office. He says if there is a dispute between committee members on how to proceed with a proposal, the final decision will fall onto his shoulders.
