I feel the OP pain because if you are small with less than $1m of funding, you are unable to do anything if you want to stay compliant. And compliance seems to be an un-ending stream where every other organization is trying to impose its rules, taxes, fees and licenses.

The government then starts reverting these simplifications with amendments that make the situation worse than when it started.
