Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Small businesses would get a new hotline to report confusing government rules.

This bill would create a "Red Tape Hotline" for small businesses to report federal rules that are hard to follow. The Small Business Administration would set up this hotline, along with an email and website, within six months. This would give small businesses a direct way to share their concerns about federal regulations.

What Would Change

Today, small businesses lack a dedicated, official channel to report federal rules they find burdensome. If this bill becomes law, the Small Business Administration would create a "Red Tape Hotline" within 180 days, giving small businesses a specific phone number, email, and website to share their concerns. The SBA would then report annually to Congress on these issues and suggest ways to reduce the burden.
