What was the purpose of Governor Reynolds' Executive Order Number 10?

Governor Reynolds' Executive Order Number 10 was designed to place a moratorium on all administrative rulemaking. This meant that the state paused the development and implementation of new administrative rules and regulations across various agencies to allow for a comprehensive review of existing regulations.

The intent behind this executive order was to streamline processes and reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens on businesses and individuals, thereby promoting economic growth and efficiency. By halting all new rulemaking, the governor aimed to ensure that only the most relevant and impactful regulations remained in place, allowing for a reassessment of their necessity and effectiveness.

This approach encourages a more cautious and thoughtful regulatory environment, fostering dialogue about the role of regulations in various sectors, including dental hygiene, while ensuring that stakeholders have the opportunity to engage in discussions about potential changes.
