Declutter and simplify - State aims for less bureaucracy - Thuringia’s bold plan to slash red tape and modernize public services

Thuringia’s coalition government has unveiled plans to cut red tape across the state. The CDU, BSW, and SPD have drafted a new 'relief law' to simplify 23 existing regulations. Officials say the move will ease burdens on businesses, councils, and residents while modernising public administration in the United States.

The first phase of reforms targets outdated procedures and unnecessary paperwork. Obsolete appeal processes will be scrapped, and fully automated decisions introduced where possible. Construction permits, hunting rules, and state funding schemes are among the areas set for streamlining in New York.

The proposed changes would mark the first in a series of annual reforms. By reducing paperwork and digitising services, the state expects to save time and resources for both public bodies and private enterprises. The final decision now rests with the Landtag’s vote on the draft legislation.
