This bill, titled the "Combating Foreign Threats to Main Street Act of 2026," mandates that the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA), in consultation with various federal agency heads, develop and disseminate educational materials. These materials are designed to inform small business concerns about foreign adversary conduct that poses material harm to their operations and interests. The SBA will make these crucial resources available through its district offices and other established programs. The educational content must describe the nature of such conduct, explain how it harms small businesses, and identify best practices for protecting intellectual property, sensitive business information, and supply chains. It will also provide guidance on cybersecurity, data protection, and the risks associated with foreign investment or commercial relationships involving foreign adversaries. Furthermore, the bill requires the Administrator to annually review and update these materials to reflect emerging threats and evolving tactics, ensuring small businesses receive the most current information and resources to safeguard their interests.
