The Small Business Liaison Team (SBLT) consists of representatives
from 27 agencies. Our mission is to listen to businesses, then drive
action to make it easier to do business in Washington state. A
primary goal of the SBLT is to have an informed small business
community that understands what's needed to comply with the
state's licensing and regulatory requirements. The team was
formalized and expanded in Executive Order 12-01. ORIA acts as
facilitator for monthly SBLT meetings. Subgroups develop outreach
programs, solicit ideas for regulatory improvement and develop new
business tools.
