Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act
A bill to amend chapter 6 of title 5, United States Code (commonly known as the "Regulatory Flexibility Act"), to ensure complete analysis of potential impacts on small entities of rules, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to update the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires federal agencies to consider how new rules might affect small businesses, non-profits, and local governments. The changes proposed would ensure a thorough analysis of the potential impacts on these small entities whenever new regulations are drafted.
The bill would primarily affect federal agencies, small businesses, non-profit organizations, and local governments by making sure their voices are heard in the regulatory process. By requiring a more comprehensive analysis, the bill hopes to protect these entities from undue burdens when new rules are implemented.
Introduced on July 30, 2026, the bill has been referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for further review. As of now, no further actions have been taken, and the committee is currently considering the bill.
