Red Tape Reduction

What is Red Tape?

Regulations are necessary for public health and safety, social wellbeing, consumer confidence, education/training, and environmental protection. Regulations sometimes impose a burden. However, regulations are red tape when they are:
  • trying to solve a problem that is better addressed by the private sector or through education;
  • unclear or overly complex and take stakeholders too long to comply with;
  • inflexible;
  • unfair or inequitable; or
  • duplication.
