Advocacy to host small biz reg talks

The U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy is hosting a roundtable discussion of federal regulatory issues June 6 at the Jackson (Miss.) Hilton that impact small businesses. The free-to-register discussions begin at 9 a.m. President Trump has made regulatory reform a center piece of his agenda and signed two executive orders addressing the regulatory burden faced by the private sector. As the independent voice for small business within the federal government, The Office of Advocacy has a unique and role to aid the SBA’s implementation of those orders. To assist in accomplishing the goals, Advocacy has developed a Regulatory Reform Action Plan. As part of this plan, there are Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtables being held across the country to give small businesses first-hand information about federal regulations that most concern or impact business In order for this reform effort to be successful, small business participation will be needed. This will be an opportunity for small business leaders to educate Advocacy and federal agencies through first-hand accounts of how federal regulations impact their small business.
