Who this affects: This bill primarily affects small businesses by aiming to cap the regulatory costs they face from SBA rules. It also affects the SBA itself, which must manage its rulemaking to stay at net zero cost and produce detailed annual reports on all agencies.

Why this matters: Small businesses often struggle with the cost of complying with federal rules because they have less staff and money than large companies. This bill tries to put a cap on that burden from SBA rules and give Congress better data on the total regulatory load across all agencies.
