NFIB Leads Coalition to Provide Regulatory Relief for Small Business | NFIB

NFIB led 50 trade associations in sending a letter to leaders of the U.S. House Small Business Committee

What it means: NFIB is continuing to fight against one-size-fits-all regulating and pushing for agencies to take small business into consideration before proposing regulations. 

Our take: “Small businesses are concerned with the unprecedented pace of regulations coming from Washington. To increase transparency and fully account for the impact of regulations on small businesses, NFIB urges Congress to fulfill the intent of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) through legislation like the bipartisan Prove It Act,” said NFIB Director of Government Relations Josh McLeod.

Regulatory burdens continue to be an issue for small business owners, with “Uncertainty over Government Actions” ranking eighth in NFIB’s Small Business Problems and Priorities survey. On Sept. 6, NFIB led 50 trade associations in sending a letter to leaders of the U.S. House Committee on Small Business to provide regulatory relief and reduce red tape for small businesses. 

NFIB continues to advocate for compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) by administrative agencies to avoid one-size-fits-all rulemaking. That type of rulemaking puts small businesses at a disadvantage because they do not have the same staffing power that big corporations do to easily sift through the extra paperwork regulations require. With the RFA, agencies are required to analyze the impact of regulations on small businesses. 

A White Paper analysis by the NFIB Small Business Legal Center explores the lack of RFA compliance by administrative agencies and what Congress can do to reinvigorate the RFA. Share your story to inform lawmakers about the impact of regulations in a short survey.
