What it does
The Small Business Administration has 60 days to set up a website. The site will list help and tools for small manufacturers. It will show SBA phone numbers, partner groups, and guidance. The SBA will update the site every year. Updates will be based on feedback from its Chief Counsel for Advocacy.
Who it affects
Small manufacturers and workers in factory towns benefit from the website. They can find federal help and support programs more easily.
One thing to notice
The bill requires the website but does not say how much money the SBA can spend. The website's usefulness depends on whether the SBA provides good information.
