HR 7401 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.
Small Business Lending Fraud Prevention Act
Summary
This bill requires Small Business Administration employees who participate in loan origination, review, or approval to certify in writing that they have no conflicts of interest under federal law regarding their involvement in those loans. Employees must certify this requirement 270 days after the bill is enacted. If an employee discovers a conflict of interest after submitting the certification, they must immediately disclose it to their supervisor and recuse themselves from the loan. The SBA Administrator must issue regulations implementing this requirement within 180 days of enactment.
