With all the talk of tax reform, budgets and fiscal responsibility to get the economy moving, there hasn’t been a lot of talk lately about another important economic driver –  regulatory reform.  It doesn’t mean things aren’t moving in the right direction there too.

Case in point – House Bill 680 will be considered on the House floor today.  This little talked about bill removes a bunch of regulatory red tape that is a special burden for small companies trying to raise money using so-called crowd financing.  And that is a good idea.

Update:  HB 680 passed the House today 103-1. Rep. Edgar Starnes (R-Caldwell voted no).  The bill now goes to the Senate.
