This bill exempts the SEC's Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation from most of the Paperwork Reduction Act. Congress amends Section 4(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to declare that actions the Advocate takes under that subsection are not a "collection of information" under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The bill keeps a subset of Paperwork Reduction Act requirements in force for the Advocate's actions. It then relieves the SEC of three specific duties for those actions: submitting the collection to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, displaying an OMB control number or telling recipients one is needed, and indicating the collection meets federal clearance requirements. The practical effect is that the Advocate can gather information from small businesses without first clearing it through OMB.
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 3 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 10 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. 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: National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA); Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.A.; Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (Sbe Council). 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.
