## Summary

This bill would codify and expand the Export-Import Bank's Regional Export Promotion Program and create a pilot to **expand export opportunities for regional small businesses**. - Small businesses would get targeted support including specialized training, marketing materials, short-term export credit insurance products designed for small accounts, and streamlined application processes for organizations that have not used Bank products before. - State, county, and city governments, nonprofit economic development entities tied to colleges, small business development centers, and world trade centers are listed as eligible regular partners to help find and refer regional exporters. - A five-year pilot would prioritize HUBZone agencies, community development financial institutions, minority depository institutions, local chambers, and local community banks and credit unions. The Export-Import Bank must report to Congress one year after the pilot starts and then annually for five years on partners, product volume, successes, and funding recommendations.
