Introduced on April 17, 2025 by Beth Van Duyne
Requires the Small Business Administration to set and keep its "small business regulatory budget" at zero each fiscal year beginning in FY2026 and directs the SBA Office of Advocacy to send Congress an annual report listing agency rule costs and the rules that affect small businesses (first report due within 60 days after the end of FY2025). The act also declares that no additional funds are authorized to implement its requirements.
The measure is procedural: it defines terms for the budget calculation, creates a recurring reporting requirement about regulatory costs affecting small businesses, and places a statutory constraint (zero) on the SBA's small business regulatory budget without providing extra appropriations or enforcement mechanisms.
