What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act'', targets the Small Business Administration. It requires the Administrator to ensure that the small business regulatory budget for a small business concern is not greater than 0 for fiscal year 2026 and every year after. The regulatory budget includes costs from new rules or the modification and repeal of existing ones. Additionally, the Administrator must submit an annual report to Congress regarding rules issued by other Federal agencies that impact small business concerns. This report must include each such rule and be broken down by the agency that issued it. No additional funds are authorized to carry out this Act.
