Mission
The Governor's Office of Regulatory Reform improves the State's regulatory process by assisting State agencies in the development of regulations that are well conceived, understandable, and based upon adequate input from the parties affected.

In 2007, an estimated 50,000 applications for new and expanding businesses were submitted electronically through the online Permit and Licensing System (OPAL).
