Supplemental Appropriation - EDA Bridge Loan Fund
HB 3360 allocates additional state funds to the Economic Development Agency's (EDA) Bridge Loan Fund, which provides short-term financing to small businesses for urgent operational needs. This supplemental appropriation directly affects eligible small businesses that qualify for EDA bridge loans, typically those facing temporary cash flow challenges. The bill adds $1.5 million to the existing fund, expanding the pool of available capital without changing eligibility rules or creating new program requirements. The measure was enacted as Chapter 24 of the 2025 Regular Session Acts after approval by the governor on April 17, 2025.
