Small Business Disaster Coordination Act

This bill, the Small Business Disaster Coordination Act (S 1698), amends the Small Business Act to improve disaster recovery support for small businesses. It allows SBA resource partners (like local service centers) to provide advice and assistance to small businesses in disaster areas outside their usual service zone, provided they coordinate with a local partner serving that area. The assistance period is limited to two years (with possible extension) and requires resource partners to share information with the SBA to better inform businesses about disaster loan options. This change directly affects small businesses in disaster-impacted communities and their access to coordinated recovery resources.
