What H.R. 4305 does
Small businesses that struggle with a federal rule can report it to the Small Business Administration's Red Tape Hotline. The DUMP Red Tape Act, H.R. 4305, would require the agency's Office of Advocacy to keep operating the hotline, which takes notifications about the burden of complying with agency rules, guidance, policy statements and other activities.
The office would report each year to the Small Business Administration and Congress on the notifications it received.
