National Worker Cooperative Development and Support Act
This bill establishes a federal council to coordinate support for worker cooperatives - businesses owned and controlled by their employees - and requires key agencies like the Small Business Administration and Treasury to remove barriers, provide capital access, and offer training to help these businesses form and grow. It amends existing laws to expand a small business lending program for worker cooperatives and directs community development funds to include cooperative support. The council must identify regulatory obstacles, develop a national strategy, and report progress to Congress annually. These changes aim to make federal resources more accessible for employee-owned businesses through concrete policy adjustments.
