House of Representatives created the first House Select Committee on Small Business. \u00a0The select committee was established in response to a growing number of small business activists and organizations advocating for more protections and better government policies for America\u2019s small businesses. While it had no legislative authority, the select committee became popular with House members and was reauthorized each Congress until January 5, 1975, when it was made a permanent standing committee.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#397389&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck Logo &#038; About&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.bhfs.com\/&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; border_style_all=&#8221;none&#8221; global_module=&#8221;6751&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7889 \" src=\"https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brownstein-logo-positive-RGB.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"567\" height=\"84\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brownstein-logo-positive-RGB-980x145.png 980w, https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/brownstein-logo-positive-RGB-480x71.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck<br \/><\/strong>Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is a unique law firm.
