Rural Small Business Resilience Act

HR 804, the Rural Small Business Resilience Act, requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to ensure rural individuals in disaster-affected areas have full access to disaster assistance. Specifically, the SBA must take actions like targeted outreach and marketing materials to help rural residents (as defined in the Small Business Act) access aid under Section 7(b). The bill also includes a minor technical amendment to renumber a section of the Small Business Act. This law directly affects rural residents in declared disaster zones who rely on SBA disaster programs.
