- Small businesses: Can notify the Chief Counsel about compliance burdens tied to rules, guidance, policy statements, or other agency actions, giving small firms a direct way to flag costly or misaligned requirements.
- SBA Chief Counsel: Must set up and maintain the hotline within 180 days, keep an accessible website and contact methods, and submit annual reports that summarize complaints, affected industries and locations, and recommend fixes.
- Federal agencies: Reports must identify which agencies and specific rules or activities generate the most notifications and include recommendations for reducing burdens on small entities.

New hotline for small businesses' red tape
If enacted, this would require the SBA’s Chief Counsel for Advocacy to set up a Red Tape Hotline within 180 days. Small businesses would be able to report burdens from rules, guidance, policy statements, or other agency actions. The hotline would offer an email, web form, phone number, and an easy-to-find website. Within 1 year, and then every year, the Chief Counsel would report to the SBA Administrator and Congress. Reports would name the most-reported rules and agencies, the industries and locations affected, recommend ways to cut burdens, and list actions the office took. This could help surface problems faster, but it would not by itself change any rules or provide money.
