Bill > HR804

This bill aims to improve disaster assistance access for small businesses in rural areas by requiring the Small Business Administration (SBA) to take specific actions within one year of the bill's enactment. Specifically, the Administrator of the SBA must ensure that the Associate Administrator of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience provides full access to disaster assistance for individuals in rural areas where a disaster has been officially declared. This will be accomplished through targeted outreach and marketing materials designed to help rural small business owners better understand and access available disaster recovery resources. The bill also includes a technical amendment that involves redesignating a paragraph in the existing Small Business Act related to statute of limitations. By focusing on rural areas, which often face unique challenges in receiving federal assistance, the bill seeks to enhance the resilience and support for small businesses in less populated regions during times of disaster.
