Regulatory streamlining is making regulations simpler, speedier, and less expensive for business without decreasing the protections that Oregonians expect for the public and the environment.
The passage of HB 2405 means DCBS' Building Codes Division will be able to implement a system that will allow contractors throughout the state to obtain permits, review plans, and schedule inspections on a 24/7 basis through a one-stop electronic-permitting Web site - the first such one in the nation.
In response to the Governor's regulatory streamlining initiative, the state's Workers' Compensation Division (WCD) set a goal to more effectively and efficiently monitor and improve the health of the workers' compensation system.
