Landtag passes first bureaucracy reduction law - Hesse slashes red tape to boost small business ideas and care facilities

Hesse has enacted its first Bureaucracy Reduction Act, simplifying processes for small business ideas and care facilities. The new law allows more administrative tasks to be handled by email and reduces paperwork for businesses, making it easier for small business ideas to operate. A second act is already in preparation, with changes set to take effect in early 2026. The newly approved act simplifies or removes 90 regulations through over 120 measures, including allowing people to submit digital copies of documents for registrations instead of physical paperwork. Nursing homes will also face fewer reporting requirements, easing their administrative load. The first act has already streamlined processes for residents and small business ideas in Hesse. The follow-up legislation, due in 2026, aims to build on these changes, with officials expecting further reductions in paperwork and more efficient digital services for small business ideas.
