Easing Regulations: New Hotline for Reporting Burdensome Government Rules
This law directs the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration to establish a hotline for small businesses, organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions to report burdensome Government actions. The objective is to receive notifications and, for rules with significant economic impact, consider regulatory alternatives that minimize the burden on these entities. The hotline will operate via email, a website form, or a phone number.
