HR 1548 United States House · 118th Congress

Improving Access to Small Business Information Act

HR 1548, the *Improving Access to Small Business Information Act*, is a procedural bill that modifies the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It excludes actions taken by the Small Business Capital Formation Advocate from being classified as "collection of information" under the Paperwork Reduction Act (a law limiting government paperwork burdens). This change specifically affects how the Advocate’s work is regulated, not small businesses themselves. The bill does not create new policies or directly impact small business operations, but streamlines administrative processes for the Advocate’s role.
