Bill Summary: HR 4305 - DUMP Red Tape Act
The DUMP Red Tape Act (HR 4305) aims to streamline regulatory processes affecting small businesses by reducing bureaucratic burdens. The bill specifically targets regulations that are deemed excessive or unnecessary, with a focus on enhancing the operational environment for small enterprises.
Key Provisions:
Regulatory Review: The bill mandates a comprehensive review of existing federal regulations impacting small businesses. Agencies are required to identify and eliminate regulations that impose undue burdens, particularly those that do not significantly contribute to public health or safety.
Small Business Advocacy: HR 4305 establishes a Small Business Regulatory Review Board within the Small Business Administration (SBA). This board will provide recommendations to federal agencies on regulatory changes that could benefit small businesses.
Reporting Requirements: Federal agencies must submit annual reports detailing the progress made in reducing regulatory burdens on small businesses, including specific metrics on compliance costs and the number of regulations modified or eliminated.
Funding and Authorities: The bill does not allocate specific funding but utilizes existing resources within the SBA and relevant federal agencies to implement its provisions. It empowers the SBA to oversee the regulatory review process and ensure compliance with the new requirements.
Programs and Agencies Affected: The bill primarily affects federal regulatory agencies that impose rules on small businesses, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor.
Beneficiaries: Small businesses across various sectors stand to benefit from reduced regulatory burdens, which may lead to lower operational costs and increased competitiveness.
Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 4305 was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship for further consideration. The timeline for subsequent actions will depend on the committee’s review and any potential amendments before a vote is scheduled.
This legislation reflects an ongoing effort to enhance the business climate for small enterprises by addressing regulatory inefficiencies.
