Urges Texas Legislature to ensure small businesses only have one set of rules to follow statewide
San Antonio Small Businesswoman Touts Benefits of Texas Regulatory Consistency Act
“Government is not the only pressure [small businesses face]. I have landlords. I have two franchisors. I have got inflation. I’ve got mandates, as I run my business, that are outside the influence of government. “So when we look at government mandates coming from a variety of different directions, often it feels like they come out of left field.”Fullerton also emphasized that the bill does not strip cities of their power, but instead ensures they act within their jurisdiction:
“It’s my understanding cities are not losing their authority, or that this bill is usurping that. This is just to clarify that they’re doing things and recommending things that were never in their purview, to begin with.”Finally, Fullerton urged the Legislature to pass HB 2127 to ensure Texas remains a place where small businesses can thrive:
“We hear often that Texas is the number one state to do business. And the number one state for small business owners. I feel that this is a chance for the state to get this right. […] “So, I’m asking you, imploring you to please help us get it across the finish line this session.”Background: CLICK HERE for more testimony from the hearing.
