Small businesses and other small groups could report federal rules that are hard or costly to follow. The SBA Office of Advocacy would send yearly reports to Congress with the top complaints and suggested fixes.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 4305: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects small businesses and other small entities that deal with federal rules. It gives them a single place to report rules or agency actions they find hard or costly to follow. It also affects the SBA Office of Advocacy, which would have to run the hotline and write yearly reports. Federal agencies could receive recommendations, but the bill does not require them to change their rules.
Why this matters: Federal rules can be harder for small businesses to handle because they often have less staff and money. This bill would give those small entities one clear way to tell the government which rules create the most trouble. The reports could help Congress and agencies spot patterns across industries and regions. The bill does not change any rule on its own, so its impact would depend on what officials do with the information.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
