AI Summary

This bill requires the Division for Small-Business (a state economic development agency) to create and publish an annual Small Business Compliance Guide by January 31st each year. The guide must provide small business owners and operators with clear, easy-to-understand information about statutory and regulatory changes that occurred in the previous calendar year. The guide will cover a wide range of topics including permits, licenses, taxes, insurance, workplace safety, workers' compensation, wages, hours, and benefits. The bill mandates that the language be written in plain terms, avoiding technical jargon whenever possible, and include contact information for relevant state agencies. Additionally, the Division for Small-Business must publish the guide on its website and conduct an annual public awareness campaign to promote the guide, using various media channels like social media, radio, and print advertising. The campaign will aim to educate small business owners about the guide and available resources to help them understand and comply with new regulations. By providing this comprehensive and accessible guide, the bill seeks to help small businesses stay informed about legal and regulatory changes that might affect their operations.
