Disaster Loan Outreach Consistency Act

Sponsored By: Representative Mejia, Analilia [D-NJ-11]

In Committee

Summary

Standardized, accurate disaster loan outreach would require the Small Business Administration to create uniform templates and verification steps so all disaster field operations centers share the same current facts about disaster loan terms and eligibility. The bill sets a 180‑day deadline for the Administrator to adopt these procedures and requires annual and post‑change reviews of materials.

Show full summary
  • Families and applicants: Would receive consistent, up‑to‑date information on disaster loan terms and eligibility, reducing confusion when applying for assistance.
  • SBA field operations centers and staff: Would have to use standardized templates and verify materials before public release, and participate in annual reviews.
  • Congressional oversight: The Administrator would notify the House Committee on Small Business and the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship within 30 days after setting or significantly changing the procedures.

*Would not authorize new spending or appropriations and primarily imposes procedural requirements on SBA outreach.*

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Standardized disaster loan outreach for businesses

If enacted, this bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator to set procedures within 180 days. The procedures would make disaster field offices use standard templates, verify materials before public release, and review consistency each year and right after major procedure changes. The SBA would have to notify the House and Senate small-business committees within 30 days after establishing or significantly changing the procedures. These steps would aim to give applicants clearer, up-to-date information but would not change loan amounts, eligibility rules, or provide new funding.
