White House Conference on Small Business Act of 2025
HR 6855 reauthorizes the White House Conference on Small Business, updating the 1995 law to require the President to hold the conference between December 2025 and December 2026. It directly affects small business owners (as delegates), state governors, and congressional members by changing delegate selection rules (including 100 presidential appointees) and mandating an electronic system for ongoing collaboration among delegates. Key provisions include revising the conference's purpose to prioritize small business impact on the national economy, requiring a 4-year post-conference communication system for delegates, and funding the event solely through collected fees (not new appropriations). The bill also clarifies that SBA cosponsorships with entities do not constitute endorsements.
