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!
Small Biz Bills Move in DC
AB 2314 passed its first hurdle!
The House passed five bi-partisan small business bills earlier this week including reauthorization for the Women’s Business Center Program and SCORE and improvements for the Small Business Development Centers. Visit our website for a list of the small business bills that passed. They will now move to the Senate.
