Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 1548 - Improving Access to Small Business Information Act

The Improving Access to Small Business Information Act (HR 1548) aims to enhance the availability of critical information and resources for small businesses across the United States. This legislation seeks to improve the dissemination of information regarding federal programs, services, and resources available to small businesses, thereby facilitating their growth and sustainability.

Key Provisions: The bill mandates the Small Business Administration (SBA) to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to improve access to small business information. This includes the establishment of a centralized online platform that aggregates resources from various federal agencies, ensuring that small business owners can easily find information relevant to their needs. The SBA is tasked with collaborating with other federal entities, state governments, and private sector stakeholders to ensure the platform is user-friendly and accessible.

Funding and Authorities: HR 1548 authorizes appropriations for the SBA to support the development and maintenance of the online platform and related outreach efforts. The bill emphasizes the need for adequate funding to ensure the platform is continuously updated and reflects the latest resources available to small businesses.

Programs and Agencies Affected: The primary agency affected by this legislation is the SBA, which will take the lead in implementing the provisions. Other federal agencies that provide resources to small businesses, such as the Department of Commerce and the Department of Labor, will also be involved in the collaborative efforts to enhance information accessibility.

Beneficiaries: Small business owners and entrepreneurs across the nation will benefit from improved access to vital information, which can assist them in navigating federal programs, securing funding, and accessing support services. Additionally, state and local economic development agencies may leverage the platform to better serve their constituents.

Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 1548 has been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for further consideration. The timeline for further action will depend on the committee’s review and subsequent legislative processes.
