I really like a couple of the new business-friendly laws signed by TexGov Abbott this week, particularly this one:
Abbott also signed into law HB 2464, which prevents local municipalities from imposing regulations on certain home-based businesses.
I was stung by this one myself several years ago. Even though Plano is a very business-friendly town (hence all the corporations headquartered there), there were a couple of regs which made it difficult for a home-based business to operate — especially when related to late-night deliveries (“noise abatement”) and so on. (We frequently used FedEx’s 3am pickup service, for instance, because of deadline issues.)
And frankly, anything which makes it easier and less costly for businesses to open and set up operations is A Good Thing because #Capitalism.
Here in a blue state, I swear that the congress critters see what Abbot and DeSantis are doing then our local scoundrels do the exact opposite.
That’s because at the heart of the matter, your local politicos hate and despise you.
