On February 1, AGC and other stakeholders urged the Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Small Business to prioritize legislation that strengthens and closes loopholes in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). The RFA is a 1980 law that requires federal regulators to consider the impact of new mandates on small businesses and to minimize negative impacts without compromising the underlying regulatory objectives. However, regulators have failed to adequately comply with the RFA, increasing risks to small businesses with every new federal regulation.
