This bill would block new rules from the Small Business Administration (SBA) that change who can get 7(a) and 504 business loans. If passed, the rules about citizenship and residency for these loans, issued in February 2026, would not take effect. This means the older requirements for these loans would stay in place.

This bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to create and share educational materials, an informational card, and planning guides for small business owners and their employees. These resources would help them understand their rights and duties during immigration enforcement actions, I-9 audits, and employer sanctions. Currently, the SBA does not explicitly offer these specific resources.

This bill would make the Small Business Administration (SBA) ask for public feedback before making new rules about things like loans, grants, and contracts. Right now, the SBA doesn't always have to do this for these types of rules. This change would give small businesses and others a chance to share their thoughts on important SBA decisions.
