Bill Analysis
The Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act (HR 7102) aims to enhance economic development and entrepreneurship among Native American communities. The bill seeks to establish a framework for supporting Native American entrepreneurs through various means, including access to capital, business training, and mentorship programs.
Key provisions of the bill include the creation of a grant program administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA) specifically for Native American-owned businesses. This program will provide funding for business development services, including training and technical assistance, to help entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of starting and managing a business. The bill also emphasizes the importance of partnerships between federal agencies, tribal governments, and private sector organizations to bolster entrepreneurial opportunities.
In addition to grants, HR 7102 proposes the establishment of a Native American Entrepreneurial Advisory Council, which will consist of representatives from Native American communities, business leaders, and federal officials. This council will advise the SBA on policies and programs that affect Native American entrepreneurs, ensuring that their unique needs and challenges are addressed.
The bill is designed to benefit Native American individuals and tribes by fostering an environment conducive to business growth and innovation. By providing targeted resources and support, the legislation aims to reduce barriers to entrepreneurship faced by Native Americans, ultimately promoting economic self-sufficiency and resilience within these communities.
As of the latest action, HR 7102 has been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders as Calendar No. 337. This positions the bill for further consideration and potential passage in the Senate, marking a significant step toward enhancing entrepreneurial opportunities for Native Americans.
