This bill directs the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration to set up a Red Tape Hotline within 180 days where small entities can report the burden of complying with an agency rule, guidance, policy statement, or other activity. The Chief Counsel must provide an email address, submission form, phone number, or other method, and an easily accessible website. Once a year, the Chief Counsel reports to the SBA Administrator and Congress on which rules draw the most complaints, which agencies issued them, recommendations to those agencies for reducing the burden on small entities, and what actions the Chief Counsel took. It adds this as a new subsection of existing SBA advocacy law and uses established definitions of agency, rule, and small entity.
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 5 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 5 organizations lobbying for themselves in 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: Public Citizen; Associated Builders and Contractors Inc; Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (Sbe Council); Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.A.; American Petroleum Institute. 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.
