No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Referred to the House Committee on Small Business.

The legislation would change how the Small Business Administration's credit risk office reports its activities each year, likely requiring different information or a different format in their annual reports to Congress. These changes could affect how small business owners and lenders understand the risks associated with federal small business loans and loan guarantees. The bill is still in early stages and has been sent to the House Committee on Small Business for review.
