S 2677 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Small Business Broadband and Emerging Information Technology Enhancement Act of 2023

This bill creates a dedicated "Broadband and Emerging Information Technology Coordinator" within the Small Business Administration (SBA) to help small businesses adopt and use modern technologies. The coordinator will work with other federal agencies (like the FCC and Commerce Department), identify helpful tools and training, and provide staff training on technologies including AI, IoT, and 5G. It also requires the SBA to conduct a study on how broadband access and emerging tech impact small businesses, including surveys on speed, cost, and usage. The coordinator must submit biennial reports to Congress on these efforts.
