A recent committee report cited that these regulations resulted in 312\u2064 million hours of compliance paperwork. Critics, including 50 trade groups, have\u200d accused the \u200cadministration of evading the intentions of\u2063 the Regulatory Flexibility Act, noting that federal agencies often fail to adequately assess \u2064the economic impacts of these regulations\u2063 on small \u2062businesses. They highlighted issues such as improper certification of economic impacts\u200b and inadequate oversight compliance by \u200dfederal agencies\u2062 regarding\u200c new rules.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House Republicans hammer Biden-Harris agenda that imposed $1.7 trillion in regulations on small businesses<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1746023\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE &mdash;<\/strong> On Tuesday, the House Committee on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Small Business<\/a> will hold a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-house-republicans-to-propose-bill-forcing-biden-administration-to-reveal-how-much-us-weaponry-taliban-seized-during-takeover\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans To Propose Bill Forcing Biden Administration To Reveal How Much US Weaponry Taliban Seized During Takeover\">full committee markup<\/a> on seven bills targeting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/biden-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Biden-Harris administration<\/a> for creating burdensome regulations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The committee markup comes following a&nbsp;May <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/05.22.2024_-_house_committee_on_small_business_rfa_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>report<\/a> by the committee that found that the Biden-Harris administration has imposed $1.7 trillion in regulations on small businesses, amounting to 312 million paperwork compliance hours.<\/p>\n<p>The seven bills that lawmakers will be reviewing were all written to strengthen and boost protections for small businesses laid out in the Regulatory Flexibility Act signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1980.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/767566242\/09-05-2024-Joint-Trades-Letter-Re-Regulations-for-HSBC-Markup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>letter<\/a> signed by 50 trade groups, critics accused the Biden-Harris administration of circumventing the RFA, pointing out 28 instances where federal agencies &ldquo;failed to adequately examine the economic costs of regulations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The May report found four ways in which federal agencies skirted around creating regulations without checking to see if it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-stonewall-paycheck-fairness-act-over-employer-burdens-redundancy\/\" title=\"Republicans Stonewall \u2018Paycheck Fairness Act\u2019 Over Employer Burdens, Redundancy\">burden small businesses<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An investigation found federal agencies &ldquo;often improperly certify that rules will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities,&rdquo; according to the letter.

On Tuesday, the House Committee on Small Business will review seven bills aimed at addressing these burdensome regulations. This follows a report from May indicating that the administration&#8217;s actions have resulted in 312 million hours of paperwork compliance for small businesses. The proposed legislation seeks to enhance protections for small businesses as outlined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which was enacted by President Jimmy Carter in 1980. A letter signed by 50 trade organizations accused the Biden-Harris administration of bypassing this act and highlighted 28 instances where federal agencies did not adequately assess the economic impact of their regulations. The report identified four ways federal agencies avoided proper regulatory processes, including improperly certifying that new rules would not significantly affect many small entities and failing to check for conflicts or duplications with existing rules. In light of these findings, the committee is prioritizing legislative measures to strengthen the Regulatory Flexibility Act, including a bipartisan proposal called the Prove It Act, which aims to increase small business involvement in regulatory processes and ensure that agencies consider their impacts on these businesses fully. Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), chairman of the committee, emphasized that these bills aim to close loopholes allowing federal agencies to impose regulations without considering their effects on small enterprises and stressed that improving transparency is essential for accountability regarding regulatory impacts on Main Street America<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2542,"featured_media":2339011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AP24011714182892-scaled-1024x683.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40523,32920,5565,40524,32076],"class_list":["post-2339010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-harris-agenda","tag-house-republicans","tag-regulations","tag-small-businesses","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AP24011714182892-scaled-1024x683.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
