2013 is fast becoming the year of “making it easier to do business in Rhode Island” at the General Assembly. With the Senate leadership recently releasing a package of legislation as part of its “Moving the Needle” agenda, issues like regulatory and permitting reform, tax policy changes and education restructuring will be a major focus in the second half of the 2013 legislative session.

Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed will address issue like: What will be the outcome of the proposed reduction in the Jobs Development Tax Credit and what will it mean to Northern Rhode Island and major employers like CVS/Caremark? Will this be the year that Rhode Island’s regulatory environment gets a major overhaul? Will the rollout of the Rhode Island Health Insurance Exchange in October end up costing the state and/or businesses more money? Do General Assembly leaders have a plan to address a court loss for the state in the “retirement reform” litigation?

Business leaders who are concerned about keeping northern Rhode Island a strong and attractive place to do business should not miss this opportunity to hear from a state leader who has an instrumental part in making that happen.

The cost to attend is $20 for Chamber members who pre-register, $30 for Chamber member walk-ins and $40 for non-Chamber members.
