The Save Our Staff Act of 2025 prohibits the Small Business Administration from laying off employees in key offices that provide counseling and training to small business owners, oversee lending programs, manage disaster relief, or handle contracting certifications. The bill also requires the SBA to rehire any employees who were laid off in these covered offices between January 20, 2025, and the bill's enactment date, restoring them to their original positions at their former pay rates and providing back pay for the time they were separated. The rehiring must be completed within 60 days of the law taking effect. This legislation directly protects SBA workforce stability and the services small businesses depend on for support and access to federal programs.
