What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act of 2025," aims to ensure continued access to specific information for entrepreneurs. It requires the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to maintain a specific website regarding small business permitting and licensing requirements. The legislation defines a "covered website" based on a specific URL available as of May 14, 2025. This requirement includes any successor websites that provide substantially similar information. The goal is to keep this information publicly available.
