## Summary

**This bill would expand the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy’s role to include formal engagement in the international economy and representation of small business views before foreign governments and international bodies.** It adds international trade and regulatory work to the Office’s functions so it can weigh in on rules that affect small firms abroad or competing with foreign firms. - Small businesses that sell or compete internationally gain a formal advocate to raise concerns in trade and regulatory initiatives. This aims to make international rulemaking more responsive to small business needs. - The Office of Advocacy would examine the role of small firms in the international economy and take part in foreign and international policymaking. That broadens its policy scope beyond domestic issues. - The bill updates statutory wording, replacing "serviced-disabled" with "service-disabled" and changing "complete" to "compete" to correct terminology in the law.
