Bill overview
This bill aims to improve how federal agencies consider the impact of their rules on small businesses. It requires agencies to analyze both the direct and potential indirect economic effects of rules on small entities, and for rules with significant impacts, it mandates a detailed plan to minimize negative effects and maximize positive ones. The bill also expands the types of agency actions subject to economic impact analysis, strengthens the process for gathering public comments, and clarifies procedures for periodic rule reviews, while also giving the Small Business Administration’s Chief Counsel for Advocacy more authority to ensure compliance.
