What H.R. 2965 does
H.R. 2965 would require the Small Business Administration to keep its annual small business regulatory budget at zero or below in every fiscal year. That budget is the cost to small businesses of a federal rulemaking, including the cost of issuing a new rule and of changing or repealing an existing one.
