DUMP Red Tape Act

This bill directs the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration to establish a Red Tape Hotline for small entities to report burdensome agency rules, and requires annual reports on the notifications received.

Sec. 2, Establishment of Red Tape Hotline: Within 180 days of enactment, the Chief Counsel for Advocacy must create and operate a Red Tape Hotline to receive notifications from small entities about burdensome agency rules, guidance, policy statements, or other activities. The hotline must be accessible via email, online form, phone, or other appropriate methods, with a website providing easy access. Annually, the Chief Counsel must report to the SBA Administrator and Congress on the most frequently reported rules, a summary of notifications (including entity type, geographic area, and industry), identification of issuing agencies, recommendations for reducing burdens on small entities, and actions taken by the Chief Counsel to address the reported issues.
