REGULATORY REFORM MOVES IN CONGRESS
House Small Business Committee Hearing Tomorrow
Small business regulatory relief is a hot topic in Washington. Last month, the White House released plans by 30 federal agencies to review rules in order to reduce red tape. Visit this web-site to learn more.
Last week, Senator Snowe tried to amend economic development legislation with a small business regulatory reform amendment. Amendment 390 gained bi-partisan support and surpassed a majority vote, but unfortunately fell short of the 60 votes required for consideration. For a news account of the Senate debate, read Kent Hoover’s column.
Last night, red tape relief dominated the GOP Presidential debate in New Hampshire and tomorrow, the House Small Business Committee will hold a hearing on legislation to help small business through amendments to the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 46-page hearing memo may be viewed here. The hearing can be viewed on-line starting at 1:00pm E.S.T.
