Gives small businesses a new way to challenge federal rules that could hurt them.
This bill would give small businesses a new way to challenge federal rules that might harm them. It would require government agencies to consider indirect costs of new rules on small businesses and publish all related guidance. If agencies don't follow review rules, some regulations could even stop applying to small businesses.
Today, federal agencies analyze the impact of new rules. However, they don't always fully consider indirect costs on small businesses, and small businesses lack a formal way to challenge these findings. This bill would require agencies to consider those indirect costs and create a new process for small businesses to petition the Small Business Administration to review a rule's potential harm. It would also mean agencies must publish all guidance for rules affecting small businesses. They could also lose the power of a rule if they don't review it every 10 years.
