H.R. 10785, the SCORE for Small Business Act of 2026, authorizes $17 million annually for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to fund the SCORE program, which provides free business counseling and mentoring to small business owners and entrepreneurs through a network of retired executives. The legislation reauthorizes this Small Business Administration program to ensure it has dedicated federal funding to continue operating nationwide. By defining key terms and establishing this funding stream, the bill aims to sustain access to expert business guidance for small businesses seeking to start or grow their operations.
