Bill > S1703

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. The Administrator of the SBA must ensure that the Associate Administrator of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience provides targeted outreach and marketing materials to individuals in rural areas (as defined by existing law) where a disaster has been officially declared. The bill includes a technical amendment that redesignates a paragraph in the existing Small Business Act, essentially reorganizing the statute's internal numbering. The primary goal is to make disaster recovery resources more accessible and visible to rural small business owners who may have previously faced challenges in receiving timely and effective assistance during and after natural disasters or other qualifying emergency events.
