Proposition de loi visant à rendre obligatoires les « tests PME »

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 17th legislature. Its title refers to making so-called 'SME tests' compulsory. An SME test is an impact assessment that checks how a proposed rule would affect small and medium-sized enterprises before it is adopted, so that burdens on smaller businesses are identified early. Based on the title alone, the bill would turn this check from optional into a required step. The bill would mainly affect small and medium-sized businesses, which would be covered by the assessment, and the public authorities that draft and adopt rules, which would have to carry out the test. The exact scope, thresholds and procedures cannot be confirmed from the metadata; the full text would need to be consulted.
