Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
The bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator to keep publicly available the SBA website that provides information on small business permits and licenses.
It defines the covered website by URL as of May 14, 2025, and any successor site that offers substantially similar information.
The Administrator must ensure the site and its updated information remain accessible after enactment.
Very narrow, noncontroversial administrative bill with minimal fiscal impact, making enactment likely if prioritized and scheduled.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly scoped administrative directive that is clear about its purpose and responsible actor but light on operational, fiscal, and accountability detail.

Likely supportive because the bill preserves an accessible resource that lowers barriers for entrepreneurs, including underserved communities.
Would want stronger guarantees on accessibility, multilingual content, and proactive outreach to marginalized business owners.
Sees this as a modest, useful government service but not transformative on its own.
Generally favorable: a pragmatic, low-cost measure to maintain an informational tool for small businesses.
Would emphasize clear performance metrics, cost transparency, and state coordination.
Views it as sensible incremental government support that should avoid large new mandates or funding spikes.
Likely supportive but reserved: approves of a limited federal role that helps businesses navigate regulations without imposing new rules.
May prefer private-sector solutions or state control, and will watch for signs of mission creep or ongoing federal cost burdens.
Views it as a modest administrative requirement rather than regulatory expansion.
