Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, together with Vice Chairman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), issued a statement expressing concerns over a new regulation from the U.S. Department of Energy. The congressmen contend this new rule could potentially burden small businesses, stifle innovation, and increase operating costs.
Chairman Williams has been vocal about the adverse impacts of what he views as over-regulation on small businesses. His statement indicates a concern that the federal government’s approach to regulation may be creating a difficult environment for businesses on Main Street.
