Rep. Adam Robertson (R)

HB 59 (Government Enterprise Amendments)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill requires that local municipalities and counties commission a market impact study prior to approving a new government enterprise tied to recreation or entertainment. This study will include finding and notifying private companies in the state that could provide the service instead.

Libertas supports this bill. Government should maintain a level playing field for private industry—not compete with it.
