This legislation, known as the SBA Disaster Transparency Act , aims to enhance public access to information regarding small business disaster assistance. Its primary purpose is to require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to publish specific reports on its website, making them readily available to the public. The bill achieves this by amending Section 12091 of the Small Business Disaster Response and Loan Improvements Act of 2008. It mandates that several existing reports, which were previously only submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Small Business, must now also be published on the Administration's website . This change applies to various subsections of the original act, ensuring greater transparency in the SBA's disaster relief operations.
