Cut the Burden, Keep the Benefits Act

This bill would require the Small Business Administration's Chief Counsel for Advocacy to set up, within 180 days, an email hotline and website where small businesses, small organizations, and small local governments can report federal government actions that affect them. The Chief Counsel would ask these groups for information and, when a reported rule would have a significant economic impact on many small entities, consider other regulatory options that meet the agency's goal with less burden. The Chief Counsel would send a yearly report to the SBA Administrator and Congress listing the most-reported government actions, the dollar benefits of reported rules, the costs of tariff-related actions on small entities, who submitted reports, recommendations, and actions taken in response.
