Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
This bill requires the Small Business Administration to modernize its information technology systems and implement recommendations from a 2024 Government Accountability Office report that identified significant risks in the SBA's newly deployed systems. The SBA's Chief Information Officer must develop detailed policies and procedures for managing IT projects, including better risk identification and documentation, cybersecurity planning, contractor selection, and improved project scheduling and cost estimation methods. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the SBA must submit a comprehensive implementation plan to Congress that identifies which office will oversee the work and establishes timelines for completing each action. The bill requires the agency to brief Congress within 30 days of submitting the plan on its approach. The legislation does not specify new funding amounts but aims to address longstanding IT modernization challenges at the agency by applying government-wide best practices for project management and cybersecurity.
