This bill, the Rural Small Business Resilience Act, directs the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to make sure the Associate Administrator of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience takes steps so people in rural areas covered by an SBA disaster declaration can fully access assistance under section 7(b) of the Small Business Act. The SBA must provide targeted outreach and marketing materials to those rural individuals. The bill gives the SBA up to one year after enactment to carry out these actions. The bill also makes a technical change that renumbers a paragraph in section 7(b) of the Small Business Act.
If you live in a rural area that is covered by an SBA disaster declaration, the SBA must take steps to help you get the disaster assistance available under section 7(b). The bill specifically requires targeted outreach and marketing to reach people in those areas.
