Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
Legislative Progress
269–146
Key Points
- Sets up a phone, email, and website hotline so small businesses can report confusing or costly federal rules.
- The Small Business Administration’s advocacy office must launch it within 6 months if this becomes law.
- Each year, the office sends Congress a report showing which rules draw the most complaints, by industry and location, and suggests fixes.
- Names the agencies tied to the complaints and pushes them to reduce red tape for small firms.
- Does not change any rule right away, but could cut paperwork and save time if agencies act on the recommendations.
