Bill Summary: A 9004

Overview

A 9004 is a proposed bill introduced on August 13, 2025 and referred to the Small Business committee. The primary sponsor is Alex Bores. The bill would establish a “small business working group” with the task of identifying the most burdensome regulatory provisions as they relate to small businesses.

Purpose and Intent

  • Create a dedicated working group to analyze the regulatory landscape as it affects small businesses.
  • Identify the twenty-five provisions of law or rules that are most frequently enforced through notices of violation (NOVs) and most often issued to small businesses.
  • The text provided does not specify additional duties beyond identification, such as recommending reforms or reporting requirements, but the central aim is to illuminate which provisions impose the greatest enforcement burden on small firms.

Key Provisions (as stated)

  • Establishment of a small business working group.
  • The group’s core objective: identify the 25 provisions (laws or rules) with the highest frequency of NOV enforcement and the highest incidence in small-business enforcement actions.
  • The bill delineates no further explicit duties, reporting deadlines, or implementation steps in the information available.

Affected Parties

  • Small businesses and their owners, operators, and compliance officers (primary subjects affected by the identified provisions).
  • State or local agencies and enforcement bodies that issue notices of violation (the entities whose practices would be analyzed).
  • Legislators and policymakers reviewing regulatory burdens and enforcement patterns.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced: August 13, 2025.
  • Status: REFERRED TO SMALL BUSINESS (i.e., sent to the relevant committee for consideration).
  • Legislative Actions recorded show two entries on the same date, both indicating referral to the Small Business committee; no further actions are documented in the provided information.
  • No specific deadlines, reporting requirements, or implementation timelines are included in the summary material.

Sponsorship

  • Primary Sponsor: Alex Bores.

Potential Impact (High-Level)

  • Increased visibility of regulatory burdens faced by small businesses.
  • A data-driven basis for potential regulatory reform or targeted enforcement changes (though the bill text provided does not specify reform Measures).
  • Could inform future legislative or administrative actions aimed at reducing unnecessary NOVs and easing compliance for small businesses.

Next Steps for Review

  • Legislative action in the Small Business committee (hearings, amendments, potential passage or rejection).
  • If advanced, possible floor consideration and votes, followed by enactment or veto processes according to the chamber’s rules.
