Small businesses get red tape hotline
If enacted, the SBA’s Chief Counsel for Advocacy would set up a Red Tape Hotline within 180 days. Small entities would be able to report burdens from federal rules, guidance, policy statements, or other agency actions. The hotline would offer email, a web form, phone, or another contact method, and a website would list the options. Not later than 1 year after enactment and every year after, the Chief Counsel would report to the SBA and Congress. Reports would name the most‑reported rules and agencies, note the types and locations of senders and industries, recommend ways to reduce burdens, and list actions the Chief Counsel took.
