HR 915 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 Technological Advancement Act
Summary
This bill amends the Small Business Act to authorize the Small Business Administration to provide loans to small businesses to finance access to modern business software and cloud computing services. Eligible uses for these loans include technology that facilitates business operations, product or service delivery, payroll and human resources functions, sales and billing, accounting, inventory management, and artificial intelligence tools. The bill specifies that existing small business loans issued before enactment cannot be used for these software purposes, and that the amendment does not limit the definition of working capital under the Small Business Act.
