The Securities and Exchange Commission (the federal agency that oversees stock markets and protects investors) has an internal office whose job is to advocate for small businesses trying to raise money. Normally, when any federal office wants to collect information from the public — like sending out surveys or questionnaires — it has to go through a lengthy approval process designed to prevent government agencies from burying people in paperwork. This bill lets that small business advocacy office skip most of those approval steps, so it can gather information from small business owners and investors more quickly, though it must still tell people why their information is being collected.
