This bill would change the Small Business Act by adding the word "smoke" to the law's list of disasters in section 3(k)(2) (15 U.S.C. 632(k)(2)). The amendment inserts a new subparagraph (D) that reads simply "smoke." The rest of the quoted section is not changed in the bill text provided.
The bill text would make "smoke" an explicit item in the definition of disaster in that part of the Small Business Act. The text of the bill itself only makes this one-word addition to the cited section.
