UTICA, N.Y. — New York small business owners could soon have an easier way to keep up with changing regulations thanks to a new bill advanced by the State Assembly.<\/p>\n

According Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon, Bill A.11046, which she introduced, passed unanimously in both the Assembly and Senate and now heads to the Governor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The bill would require the New York State Division for Small Business to publish a plain-language compliance guide each year by Jan. 31, summarizing all statutory and regulatory changes from the previous year.<\/p>\n

The guide will include updates on permits, licenses, taxes, insurance, workplace safety, workers’ compensation, wages, hours and benefits, along with contact information for state agencies.<\/p>\n

The legislation also directs the Commissioner of Economic Development to run a public awareness campaign using public forums, social media and mass media to make sure small business owners know about the guide and how to access it.<\/p>\n

The annual guide will be published in the State Register and posted on the Division for Small Business’s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo small business owner should lose sleep wondering if they’ve missed a new rule buried in the State Register,\u201d Buttenschon said. \u201cThis guide will level the playing field and make compliance simpler for every entrepreneur in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UTICA, N.Y. — New York small business owners could soon have an easier way to keep up with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[857,11545,9,11,10,49,51,50,855,2990,530],"class_list":["post-248340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-assembly","tag-buttenschon","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-senate","tag-small-business","tag-state"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
