HR 7396 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act
Summary
The bill codifies the Office of Native American Affairs (ONAA) within the Small Business Administration by converting its current administrative status into statutory authority, establishing it as a permanent office headed by an Assistant Administrator who must have knowledge of Native American cultures and experience providing culturally tailored small business assistance. The office's core responsibilities include entrepreneurial development, contracting support, and capital access assistance for Native American entrepreneurs and tribal communities. The Assistant Administrator must formulate policies addressing entrepreneurial and capital access needs, collaborate with other federal agencies, provide financial assistance for training and counseling, and conduct annual tribal consultations regarding program modifications. The bill requires annual reports to Congress detailing the number of clients assisted, consultations conducted, and training sessions held, and includes a seven-year sunset provision after which Congress must reauthorize the office.
