Bill > HR1475

This bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to enhance the transparency of its disaster assistance reporting by mandating that specific reports be published on the SBA's official website. The bill amends the Small Business Disaster Response and Loan Improvements Act of 2008 to ensure that various reports related to disaster assistance, which were previously only submitted to Congress, are now also made publicly available online. These reports include details about disaster loan programs, assistance provided during declared disasters, and other critical information about the SBA's disaster response efforts. By requiring public website publication, the bill aims to increase transparency, allow easier public access to important information about small business disaster assistance, and enable stakeholders, researchers, and interested citizens to better understand how the SBA supports businesses affected by disasters. The changes are technical in nature, primarily involving the insertion of phrases like "and publish on the website of the Administration" into existing statutory language.
