Regulatory Reform & Small Business

Regulatory Reform

NFIB supports regulatory reform proposals, including the Prove It Act, Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act, the Guidance Out of Darkness (GOOD) Act, and the Independent Agency Regulatory Analysis Act.

NFIB supports efforts to strengthen the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) by expanding Small Business Advocacy Review (SBAR) Panels to all agencies (currently only EPA, OSHA, and CFPB must conduct SBAR Panels), requiring public disclosure of the regulatory alternatives the agency examined, requiring agencies to consider the indirect costs from regulation or requiring the SBA Office of Advocacy to certify the RFA analyses of agencies.

NFIB also supports the Unnecessary Agency Regulations Reduction Act, which would create a process to eliminate outdated, duplicative, or burdensome agency regulations by requiring the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs to submit a list of regulations to consolidate or repeal on an annual basis.

NFIB supports the Providing Accountability through Transparency Act and the Guidance Clarity Act, both of which are meant to make government actions easier for the public to understand. The Providing Accountability through Transparency Act would require government agencies to include and make publicly available online a 100-word plain language summary for each proposed rule. The Guidance Clarity Act would require federal agencies to include text in guidance documents clarifying that guidance documents are not laws, and do not have the force and effect of a law.
