HR 736 United States House · 119th Congress

Protect Small Businesses from Excessive Paperwork Act of 2025

This bill extends the deadline for small businesses to file certain financial reports from a variable timeline tied to regulatory dates to a fixed date of January 1, 2026. It modifies Section 5336(b)(1)(B) of Title 31, U.S. Code, directly affecting small businesses already required to submit specific financial disclosures under existing law. The key change simplifies compliance by replacing flexible regulatory deadlines with a single, clear cutoff date. This adjustment provides additional time for affected businesses without altering the underlying reporting requirements.
