Rural Small Business Resilience Act
Summary
This legislation aims to significantly improve access to disaster assistance for individuals residing in rural areas. It mandates that, within one year of its enactment, the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) must ensure that the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience takes necessary actions to provide full access to disaster aid following a disaster declaration.
Key provisions include requiring the SBA to implement targeted outreach and marketing materials specifically designed for rural communities to ensure they are fully aware of and can readily access available assistance. This bill also contains a technical amendment, redesignating a paragraph within section 7(b) of the Small Business Act to maintain statutory clarity.
