HR 3736 United States House · 119th Congress

The Small Business Representation in Contracting Rulemaking Act

This bill adds the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a permanent member of the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, which sets rules for how federal agencies purchase goods and services. It directly affects small businesses by ensuring their representative has a formal role in shaping federal contracting policies. The key mechanism requires the SBA Administrator to submit a report within 90 days of the bill's enactment, detailing staffing needs and suggesting policy changes to support their new council role. The bill does not alter existing contracting rules but changes who participates in creating them.
