In January 2017 Greitens signed Executive Order 17-03, which froze implementation of all new regulations for over 30 days and required each agency to review its rules and remove "needless and burdensome regulations.”
A 2017 audit of state regulations found more than seven million words of regulations on the books.
Greitens declared plans to remove nearly one-third of these, equal to approximately 33,000 regulations.

Greitens signed into law a bill removing regulations on ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, allowing them to work freely in Missouri.
Uber said the legislation would lead to 10,000 additional jobs in the state.
Greitens posted on Facebook a video of himself signing the bill in a Lyft in a Taco Bell parking lot, which earned him a shout-out from Taco Bell.

Senior officials in Greitens's administration supported state and national agricultural advocacy groups’ efforts to rewrite the Obama Administration's "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS) rule.
Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst said, "we appreciate Gov. Greitens' comments to EPA asserting that the WOTUS rule was too broad an interpretation of law and that it should be redefined."

In March 2017 Greitens announced that the Missouri Board of Nursing approved the Air Force's practical nurse education program.
He said the agreement, designed to allow military nurses to practice in the civilian sector following military service, would be the first of its kind in the country.
