What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryKeeps SBA hotline for small business complaints
The Small Business Administration already runs a Red Tape Hotline where small businesses can report problems with federal rules and paperwork that seem overly burdensome. This bill makes sure that hotline stays open and requires the SBA to report each year to Congress about what complaints they're receiving.
How it affects you
If you own or work for a small business, this keeps a channel open to tell the government when federal regulations feel like too much paperwork to handle. The SBA then shares those complaints with Congress so lawmakers know what's actually causing headaches for small business owners.

This bill establishes a requirement for the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to continue to operate and maintain the Red Tape Hotline, which receives notifications from small entities about the burden of complying with applicable rules, guidance, policy statements, or other activities of a federal agency.
The office must report annually to the SBA and Congress information about the notifications received through the hotline.
