RIB is an informal committee of government employees representing numerous state agencies who work together to improve services and education for Idaho business owners. The committee grew out of Ted Gaebler's "Reinventing Government" workshop sponsored by the Associated Taxpayers of Idaho in November 1993. RIB develops projects in the areas of government regulations, small business advocacy, and business development to streamline small business interactions with state agencies. The following projects have been accomplished by RIB: Idaho Small Business Solutions Web site: This nationally recognized site is an on-line, intelligent portal to local, state, and Federal regulations that affect businesses in Idaho. It also provides connections to business development and financing resources throughout the state. One-stop Service: RIB member agencies share their application forms and brochures with each other, enabling "one-stop" service for new business applicants when applying for state and Federal permits. Combined Business Registration: Three state agencies worked together to develop a simplified registration process for new employers and retailers. The State Tax Commission, Idaho Department of Labor, and the Idaho Industrial Commission developed one on-line registration process (IBR-1) containing the information needed by all three agencies.   Small Business Information Forums: RIB's education subcommittee originated and hosted Small Business Information Forums held throughout Idaho several times each year. The forums offered new businesses  a "one-stop" opportunity to consult with representatives of local, state, and Federal government agencies and service organizations.   Government Listings in Phone Books:  RIB worked with Qwest, the former regional telephone company, to create the government blue page listings in Idaho telephone books. Other phone book publishers have since adopted the government blue page listings. The RIB committee is currently inactive, but may reconvene at a later date to work on additional special projects.
