The House Small Business Committee oversees the Small Business Administration (SBA) and federal policies affecting small businesses. It has jurisdiction over small business lending, government contracting for small businesses, entrepreneurial development, and disaster assistance for small businesses.
Bills related to SBA loan programs, small business tax relief, access to capital, government procurement set-asides, and programs to help veteran-owned, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses are referred here. With small businesses employing nearly half of all American workers, this committee's work directly affects Main Street businesses and local economies across the country.
H. Rpt. 119-500 accompanies the "Small Business Lending Fraud Prevention Act" — legislation that falls within the Small Business Committee's jurisdiction. Committee reports serve as the official legislative history of a bill, documenting what the legislation would do and why the committee recommends passage. Reports of this kind include the committee's section-by-section analysis, any amendments adopted during markup, the Congressional Budget Office cost estimate, dissenting views from minority members, and the legal basis for the legislation. Courts and agencies consult committee reports when interpreting enacted laws, making these documents important beyond the immediate legislative moment.
