Jeff Crank. \"These two bills will ultimately set up our local Colorado businesses to cut through red tape and ensure no business owners are burdened with extra costs that come with new rules coming out of Washington, DC.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nDUMP Red Tape Act:\n\nSmall businesses need a permanent hotline to share how federal regulations and other agency actions may impact their ability to operate and grow.\n\nRequires Advocacy to annually report the feedback received through the hotline.\n\nSmall Business Regulatory Reduction Act:\n\nThe Biden-Harris Administration imposed a historic $1.8 trillion in increased regulatory costs on businesses, while crushing the American economy with record-high inflation.\n\nIn response, President Trump issued Executive Order 14192, \u201cUnleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,\u201d to alleviate American businesses from overly burdensome regulations.\n\nAs the backbone of our economy, Main Street and local businesses need assurance that it can continue to grow without unnecessary costs.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://crank.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-crank-votes-protect-small-businesses-cut-red-tape-and-costs-main-street"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8923723362386227, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
