This bill creates a new hotline and website where small businesses, nonprofits, and small local governments can report when federal government actions are making their lives harder. The Small Business Administration's Chief Counsel for Advocacy will run this system and collect complaints about rules, executive orders, and other government policies that burden these smaller entities.

Once the hotline is set up, the Chief Counsel will review the complaints and look for patterns. When they notice that a particular government rule is causing significant problems for many small businesses or organizations, they'll work with the relevant agency to find alternative ways to achieve the same goal while reducing the burden. For example, if a new environmental regulation is costing small manufacturers too much money to comply with, the hotline could help identify a less expensive way to meet the same environmental standards.

Every year, the Chief Counsel must report to Congress and the Small Business Administration about what complaints they received, which industries are most affected, how much these government actions cost small entities, and what steps they've taken to address the problems. The bill specifically asks for information about tariffs and trade policies, since those can hit small businesses particularly hard. Essentially, this creates a formal channel for small businesses to voice their concerns about government regulations and gives the Small Business Administration a mandate to advocate for less burdensome alternatives.
