Referred to the House Committee on Small Business.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for establishing fundamental rights for small business owners seeking financing. The resolution identifies seven key protections small businesses should have: transparent pricing and terms presented in writing, financing products that don't trap businesses in expensive reborrowing cycles, responsible underwriting based on business ability to repay, honest and impartial communication from lenders and brokers, fair and equal treatment free from discrimination, fair collection practices, and protection from predatory legal agreements like confessions of judgment. The resolution does not allocate any funding or establish binding requirements, but instead calls on Congress to use these principles as a framework for future legislation and regulations. The resolution emphasizes that small businesses represent 99 percent of all firms in the United States and account for 61 percent of net new job creation, making their access to fair financing crucial to economic growth.
