Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed legislation introduced by Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-09) and Congressman Steve Chabot (OH-01) to reduce the regulatory burden on Arizona startups and small businesses.
“Arizona’s innovative small businesses should have every opportunity to grow and succeed,” said Congresswoman Sinema. “This bipartisan solution provides a clear path for startup businesses to connect with angel investors and venture capitalists without the burden of unnecessary regulation and red tape. Arizona is a great place to do business, and I will continue working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help our economy thrive.”
