How Sandboxes Could Help Hawaii Prosper

Hawaii Together, November, 2022

Hawaii is one of the most difficult states in which to start a business, according to a recent survey by CNBC. But Rees Empey, director of state government affairs at the Utah-based Libertas Institute, says one way Hawaii lawmakers could make it easier is to establish more regulatory 'sandboxes,' such as the one it already has for cryptocurrencies.

On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, host Jonathan Helton, Research Associate from the Grassroot Institute, talks with Empey about what regulatory sandboxes are and how Hawaii could deploy them to foster innovation.
