S 2099 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Supporting Community Lenders Act

This bill establishes a new Office of Community Financial Institutions within the Small Business Administration to specifically support community lenders serving small businesses. It requires the appointment of a Director with expertise in underserved communities to develop programs, coordinate with federal agencies like the Treasury and FDIC, and provide technical assistance to community lenders. The Director must hold public meetings annually and submit detailed reports to Congress every three years on the office's activities and recommendations. This directly affects community financial institutions and small business owners in areas with limited access to capital, aiming to improve their economic opportunities through targeted federal support.
