The bill requires the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, in fiscal year 2026 and each year after, to keep the SBA's "small business regulatory budget" at no greater than zero, meaning the net cost of the agency's rulemaking to small businesses cannot increase. The regulatory budget is defined as the cost to a small business of a rulemaking conducted by a federal agency, counting the cost of new rules and the cost of modifying or repealing existing rules. Separately, within 60 days after the end of fiscal year 2025 and annually thereafter, the Office of Advocacy's Chief Counsel must report to Congress on rules issued by other federal agencies that affect small businesses, listing each agency's total small business regulatory budget and each rule, disaggregated by issuing agency. No additional funds are authorized to carry out the Act.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 2 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 5 quarterly reports filed by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4 and 2026 Q1. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (Sbe Council); Public Citizen. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
