This proposal would make it easier for small businesses to find and understand federal rules. It tells the Small Business Administration’s Office of the National Ombudsman to add links on its website to any guidance that explains policies or interpretations for rules that already have small business compliance guides. This helps owners quickly find “what does this rule mean for me?” in one place .

It also says the website does not have to share any information that is protected from public release under existing federal transparency laws. And it does not authorize new funding to carry this out. The requirement applies to guidance connected to rules with small entity compliance guides created on or after the law takes effect .

Key points:

Who is affected: Small businesses looking for help understanding federal rules.
What changes: The Ombudsman’s website must include links to official guidance related to rules that already have small business compliance guides; protected information stays confidential; no new funding is added.
When: Applies to guidance tied to qualifying rules issued on or after the law’s enactment date.
