What it does
The bill tells the Small Business Administration to write standard forms and rules. All SBA offices must use these same forms within 180 days. The SBA must check the materials before people see them. The SBA must review them once a year and after big changes. The SBA must tell Congress when it sets up or changes these procedures.
Who it affects
People who need disaster loans benefit from getting the same true information. They learn about loan terms, who can apply, and what help the government offers. The SBA must do extra work to check and review the materials.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say what happens if an SBA office does not follow the new rules. The bill does not say if the SBA has enough staff and money to do this work.
