WASHINGTON DC – Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Jim Justice (R-WV) introduced a bill to protect a centralized, online hub for small businesses. Their bipartisan One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act would require the Small Business Administration to maintain its website that contains centralized information for licensing and business permit information and materials for small businesses.
“Small businesses are central to Nevada’s economy, and I’m committed to doing everything I can to help them succeed,” dijo el Senador Rosen. “During National Small Business Month, I’m proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Senators Capito and Justice to support our small business startups by protecting federal resources available to them.”
“West Virginia’s small businesses are the backbone of our communities and local economies, making up more than 98% of businesses in our state, but too often, entrepreneurs face unnecessary red tape when trying to get off the ground,” said Senator Capito. “The One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act cuts through that bureaucracy by streamlining the federal licensing process, making it easier for small businesses to thrive from day one.”
As a member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Senator Rosen has worked to support Nevada’s small businesses. Earlier this year, she helped introduce the bipartisan Small Business Technological Advancement Act to cut red tape and help small business owners integrate digital tools into their businesses. Each year, she leads her Senate colleagues in pushing for robust funding to support small businesses and cut burdensome red tape.
