Small businesses cannot thrive if they are choked with regulations that impede their growth. A bill introduced by Representative Aaron Bean (R-FL) has recently passed the House Small Business Committee, requiring a more democratic regulatory process that allows small businesses to raise their voices before implementing new policies.
Named the “Let American Businesses be On Record” (LABOR) Act, Rep. Bean’s bill would allow small business owners to speak with the Department of Labor through the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) before new regulations are introduced so that changes can be made before their implementation and enforcement.
