Bill > HR832

This bill proposes several technical amendments to clarify and expand the primary functions and duties of the Office of Advocacy within the Small Business Administration (SBA). Specifically, the bill makes three minor changes to the existing law: first, it adds language specifying that the Office of Advocacy should consider the international economy in its work; second, it corrects a typographical error by replacing "complete" with "compete" in one paragraph; and third, it fixes another typographical error by correcting "serviced-disabled" to "service-disabled" when referencing businesses. Additionally, the bill adds a new duty for the Office of Advocacy to represent small businesses' views and interests before foreign governments and international entities, with the goal of contributing to regulatory and trade initiatives that could potentially impact small businesses. These changes aim to slightly broaden the scope of the Office of Advocacy's responsibilities and ensure more precise language in the existing statute, while maintaining the core mission of supporting and advocating for small businesses.
