Bill overview
The Prove It Act aims to increase transparency in federal regulatory decisions that affect small businesses. It requires agencies to conduct more thorough initial regulatory flexibility analyses, specifically considering indirect costs on small entities. The bill also establishes a process for small businesses to petition the Small Business Administration’s Chief Counsel to review agency certifications that a rule won’t significantly impact small entities, and provides for a full review of those certifications. Finally, it updates procedures for periodic review of existing regulations to include consideration of indirect costs and establishes a mechanism for rules to be reinstated if agencies fail to conduct required reviews.
