Ryan’s bills empower small business owners to lower their costs by cutting through red tape and reporting harmful, unnecessary oversight directly to the Small Business Administration (SBA). The “Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act” alleviates regulatory costs faced by small businesses and requires the Administration to submit an annual report to Congress outlining the impacts of regulations on small businesses. The “DUMP Red Tape Act” creates a direct hotline to the SBA Office of Advocacy that small business owners can call to report federal regulatory overreach. “We don't have billion-dollar corporations in the Hudson Valley. What we proudly do have are tons of small businesses that clothe our kids, feed our families, and employ our friends – they deserve federal policy that lowers costs, not endless red tape,” said Congressman Pat Ryan. “Small businesses are the backbone of our Hudson Valley community. These bills will put the power back where it should be – with the businesses that keep our communities moving forward. I’ll always fight for small businesses, and against policies that screw them over – no matter what.” In 2022 alone, complying with federal regulations cost American small businesses an average of $15,133.57 (adjusted for 2024 dollars) per employee on their payroll. The “Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act” alleviates these costs and requires the Administration to submit an annual report to Congress outlining the impacts of regulations on small businesses. The “DUMP Red Tape Act” creates a direct hotline to the SBA Office of Advocacy that small business owners can call to report federal regulatory overreach. By offering a streamlined and responsive feedback loop, this bill promotes cutting red tape and limiting regulations by highlighting rules in need of reform, strengthening transparency across federal agencies, and elevating the voice of small business owners, ensuring the government remains accountable and adaptive.
