The Rural Small Business Resilience Act requires the Small Business Administration to improve disaster assistance access for people in rural areas within one year of the bill becoming law. The legislation specifically targets rural individuals and businesses in areas that have received federal disaster declarations, ensuring they receive full access to SBA disaster relief programs. To accomplish this, the SBA's Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience must conduct targeted outreach and create marketing materials specifically designed for rural communities. The bill also includes a minor technical fix to correct duplicate paragraph numbering in existing Small Business Act provisions. No specific funding amounts are mentioned in the legislation, as it focuses on improving program delivery rather than creating new spending.
