Bill > S2223

This bill proposes to amend the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 by increasing the percentage that can be invested in small business investment companies (SBICs) from 5% to 15%. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 302(b) of the original act, which governs investment limits. Small Business Investment Companies are private investment funds that are licensed and regulated by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide capital to small businesses. By raising the investment percentage, the bill aims to provide more financial flexibility and potentially increase funding available to small businesses. The legislation, titled the "Investing in Main Street Act of 2025", would enable investors to commit a higher proportion of their resources to SBICs, which could help stimulate small business growth and economic development by making more capital accessible to entrepreneurs and small enterprises.
