The regulation one is interesting because the reason those regulation bills have to be so big is to try to cover all the legal tricks big companies use to weasel out of them.

I think the article should have emphasized more that the acts highlighted only really impact companies that are publicly traded. I don't know of any company with "19 or fewer" employees that is publicly traded.

Many regulations which only directly impact large companies also force small companies to comply, because the large companies need their supplies/suppliers to be compliant as part of the regulation. I work at a company in this position (most significantly with the Dodd-Frank conflict metals reporting requirements).
