SSBCI Updates; Small Biz Bills Move in DC

In This Must Know…

SSBCI Updates

As you may know, the State Small Business Credit Initiative 2.0 was a major focus of our Advocacy Day (recap to come next week). California was fourth in line to be reviewed and the state has answered a couple of rounds of questions about their proposal, so good news should be here soon. On Thursday, the US Treasury released guidance for the TA program. California is poised to receive $25 million, more than any state. Ron Kelly from UST has offered to do a webinar for our membership in the latter part of May – stay tuned!

Take Action: Our colleagues at Small Business Majority has a letter opposing the Congressional effort to cut the program by $2 billion. Please have your organization sign!
