What it does
The bill adds reporting and accountability requirements to the Small Business Administration's disaster loan program.
The bill adds reporting and accountability requirements to the Small Business Administration's disaster loan program. It expands the SBA's monthly disaster loan reports and cuts off funds for the Administrator's official travel if a required monthly report is late. It requires the President's budget to state the cost of SBA disaster loans and COVID-EIDL loans against their 10-year averages, and requires the SBA to notify congressional committees within 24 hours when disaster loan funds fall below 10 percent of the 10-year average. It also orders the Government Accountability Office to report on the disaster loan account and on recent rule changes, and requires the SBA to report on fixes to its budget forecasting.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
No organization named this measure in a lobbying filing we could read with confidence. That is not a finding that nobody lobbied it. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, and a reference that could not be pinned to exactly one measure is refused rather than guessed.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
