H.R. 4305, a Bill to Establish a Red Tape Hotline (DUMP Red Tape Act, 119th Congress)
Summary
H.R. 4305, the DUMP Red Tape Act, was introduced in the House on July 10, 2025 by Mr. Wied and referred to the Committee on Small Business. It would amend section 203 of Public Law 94-305 (15 U.S.C. 634c) so that, not later than 180 days after enactment, the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration operates an email address known as the Red Tape Hotline, where a small business concern can report the burden of complying with an agency rule, and a website that makes the address easily accessible. Not later than 1 year after enactment, and annually thereafter, the Chief Counsel would report to the Administrator and Congress on the rules most frequently reported, the industry sectors and geographic areas involved, recommendations for each agency that issued the rules and the actions the Chief Counsel took.
