AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This bill would make the Small Business Administration post certain disaster assistance reports on its website, not just send them to Congress. The goal is to make it easier for the public to find information about how the SBA is helping small businesses after disasters.
- It changes existing reporting rules so the SBA must also publish the reports online.
- The change applies to several different disaster assistance reports already required by law.
- The reports would still be sent to the House and Senate, but they would also be available on the SBA website.
