The DUMP Red Tape Act directs the Small Business Administration's Chief Counsel for Advocacy to establish a "Red Tape Hotline" within 180 days of enactment, where small businesses can report regulations, guidance, and policies they find burdensome. The hotline will accept submissions through multiple channels including email, phone, and online forms, with information posted on an easily accessible website. Starting one year after the law takes effect and annually thereafter, the Chief Counsel must submit reports to Congress and the SBA Administrator identifying which rules and agency activities generate the most complaints, which industries and regions are affected, and recommendations for reducing compliance burdens on small entities. The legislation essentially creates a formal feedback mechanism to help identify which government rules are considered most problematic by small business owners, with the goal of informing future regulatory relief efforts.
