# House Members Propose Small-Business Tariff Hotline Act

On November 10, 2026, Representatives Gil Cisneros, Analilia Mejia, and Kelly Morrison introduced the Small Business Tariff Relief Hotline Act. If enacted, the bill would establish a Tariffs and Refunds Hotline within the SBA Office of Advocacy and require annual reports to Congress on small-business tariff concerns and recommended remedies. The proposal creates no contract opportunity or procurement funding at this stage. Small Business Majority research cited in the article says 60% of small businesses faced higher costs from tariffs in 2025 and more than 80% considered tariffs a major business concern, which may affect small-business suppliers’ pricing and cost assumptions in government markets.

- Small-business contractors and suppliers can evaluate whether tariff-sensitive inputs affect their pricing and supply costs; the proposed hotline is not established unless the bill is enacted.
- Procurement teams may find the cited cost pressures relevant when assessing small-business supplier pricing and market conditions. The bill does not state new contracting requirements or provide procurement funding.
