Small Business Regulatory Review Board

If you are a Wisconsin small business owner and you believe an existing or proposed state agency rule will adversely affect your business, you now have the means to make your concerns known.

The Wisconsin Small Business Regulatory Review Board (SBRRB) includes six representatives from small business, eight state agency representatives and one representative each from the Senate and the Assembly.  The SBRRB reviews new rules which may adversely impact small businesses and suggests less restrictive alternatives and/or creative, flexible means for businesses to comply with the agencies whenever possible.  The SBRRB was one of 20 small business regulatory reform initiatives that received a national Small Business Best Practice award for small business regulatory flexibility.
