Bill > S1786

This bill requires the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to maintain a public-facing website that provides comprehensive information about business permitting and licensing requirements. Specifically, the bill mandates continued availability of the existing SBA website (currently located at https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/launch-your-business/apply-licenses-permits) or any successor website that provides substantially similar information. The bill defines the "covered website" broadly to ensure that even if the web address changes, the critical function of providing licensing and permitting guidance remains intact. The legislation aims to create a one-stop resource for small business owners to easily access essential information about the licenses and permits they need to start and operate their businesses. By legally requiring the SBA to maintain this website, the bill seeks to simplify the often complex process of navigating government licensing requirements and provide a centralized, accessible resource for entrepreneurs.
