Smart Regulation
Business Roundtable advocates for a smart, balanced approach to regulation that supports innovation, economic growth and job creation. Excessive regulation hurts the economy and increases costs for American consumers.
Permitting Reform
The current permitting process is a roadblock to upgrading aging transportation and water systems, building traditional and clean energy infrastructure projects, expanding access to broadband and making U.S. infrastructure more resilient to evolving threats like cyberattacks and climate change. Business Roundtable urges policymakers to pass bipartisan legislation to create a federal permitting system that is expeditious, follows a predictable process and yields a durable result.
Modernizing Regulation
Business Roundtable supports policies that will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the federal regulatory system while protecting health, safety and environmental quality. Leaders in the business and policy communities have grown increasingly concerned about the adverse economic impacts associated with excessive regulation in general and a burdensome permitting process in particular.
