The U.S. House voted overwhelmingly Friday in favor of a bill to rein in federal regulations.

The bill, House Resolution 72, was approved by a bipartisan vote of 391-28

U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-2nd District, lauded the measure, which directs 10 House committees to review whether federal regulations are impeding job growth.

"In all of my years in business I can honestly say that I have never seen an administration so prepared to regulate nearly every ailment, either real or perceived," Ellmers said. "We must remove burdensome regulations so that businesses can grow and entrepreneurs can start new businesses to get people back to work."
