Prove It Act of 2025

This proposal would make federal agencies more open about how their rules affect small businesses. When an agency says a new rule won’t significantly impact small businesses, it would have to clearly explain and back up that claim. The bill also sets up review steps to check those early claims so they are accurate and easy to understand.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Small businesses and the federal agencies that write rules.
• What changes: More transparency about the impact of proposed rules, plus a process to review agencies’ early “no significant impact” claims.
