Winter Recreation Small Business Recovery Act of 2024

This bill amends the Small Business Act to expand the definition of "disaster" to include "below average snowfall or snow cover," making winter recreation businesses eligible for Small Business Administration disaster assistance. It directly affects businesses like ski resorts, snowmobile rental shops, and other winter tourism operations that suffer financial losses due to insufficient snow. The key mechanism requires the SBA Administrator, with input from the National Weather Service, to issue implementing regulations within 90 days of the bill's enactment. This change would allow affected businesses to access federal aid previously unavailable for weather-related challenges tied to snow conditions.
