Summary

This bill requires the Small Business Administration to ensure that starting in fiscal year 2026, the regulatory costs imposed on small business concerns through SBA rulemaking do not exceed zero. The bill defines the "small business regulatory budget" as the cost to small businesses resulting from SBA rules, including new rules and modifications or repeals of existing rules. The SBA Administrator must submit annual reports to Congress detailing all rules issued by other Federal agencies that impact small business, disaggregated by issuing agency. The bill does not authorize any additional appropriations to carry out these requirements.
