Increased Accountability for Financial Agencies to Small Businesses

This act aims to increase oversight of government agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), to better consider the impact of their decisions on small businesses. This means agencies will have to more thoroughly justify why their new rules do not account for the specifics of small businesses, potentially leading to more thoughtful regulations and fewer burdens for small businesses.
Key points
Government agencies, including the CFPB, will be required to analyze the impact of proposed rules on small businesses.
A detailed justification will be required if an agency does not consider the specific needs of small businesses in new regulations.
The goal is to minimize additional credit costs for small entities resulting from new rules.
