Small Business Development Centers Improvement Act of 2026
To amend the Small Business Act to make improvements to the Small Business Development Center Program, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9810, aims to enhance the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Program by amending the Small Business Act. The SBDC Program offers support to small businesses, including counseling, training, and resources to help them grow and succeed. The proposed changes are intended to improve the effectiveness and reach of this vital program.
The bill would affect small businesses, particularly those that rely on the services provided by SBDCs. By improving the program, it could lead to better access to resources and support, helping more small businesses thrive and contribute to the economy. It may also impact the SBDCs themselves, potentially enhancing their ability to provide services.
As of July 21, 2026, HB9810 has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Small Business. This is the first step in the legislative process, where the bill will be reviewed and potentially advanced to further stages for debate and voting.
