HR 1475 United States House · 119th Congress

SBA Disaster Transparency Act

HR 1475, the SBA Disaster Transparency Act, requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to publish all disaster assistance reports on its website. This bill amends existing law by adding specific language mandating that the SBA "publish on the website of the Administration" reports related to disaster assistance, including those submitted by state and local officials. The key mechanism is a procedural update to existing reporting requirements, ensuring all required reports are publicly accessible online rather than only being submitted internally. This directly affects the SBA (by changing its reporting process) and the public (by providing greater transparency into how disaster aid is distributed). The bill does not alter disaster assistance eligibility or funding levels.
