Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025
United States119th CongressHR-2931House of Representatives
Updated: Jun 9, 2025
Summary
This legislation directs the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to relocate specific offices from areas designated as sanctuary jurisdictions . The Administrator must first publicly determine that a regional, district, or local SBA office is located within such a jurisdiction, excluding headquarters or fully federally funded components. Once this determination is made, the bill requires the relocation of the covered office to a non-sanctuary jurisdiction within 120 days . If an office is not relocated by this deadline, it must cease operations, and its employees will be reassigned to other non-sanctuary SBA offices. Furthermore, the head of a non-compliant office must provide a written explanation for the delay, and the Administrator has the authority to remove them if the explanation is deemed insufficient or not provided. The bill also prohibits the establishment of any new covered SBA offices within sanctuary jurisdictions, reinforcing its core objective to disassociate SBA operations from these areas.
