What it does
The bill tells the SBA to move all its offices out of sanctuary cities. It must happen within 120 days. A sanctuary city limits help to immigration enforcement. If an office does not move in time, it must close. Workers must move to other offices. The SBA cannot open new offices in sanctuary cities.
Who it affects
Small business owners in sanctuary cities lose local SBA help. They lose loans, counseling, and disaster aid. They must travel farther or use remote help instead. Workers at SBA offices in these cities may have to move.
One thing to notice
Moving federal offices takes many months, but this bill gives only 120 days. If the move does not happen in time, the office must close instead of getting more time.
