The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (10 Aug 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Small Business.
What this bill does
H.R. 10071 would direct the Small Business Administration to reinstate and extend participation in the 8(a) Business Development Program for certain firms whose participation had lapsed or been affected, though the bill's specific eligibility criteria and mechanisms for reinstatement are not yet available since the full text has not been published.
The bill would primarily affect small businesses previously or currently enrolled in the SBA's 8(a) Program, a federal contracting assistance program for small disadvantaged businesses, as well as the SBA itself as the agency responsible for administering any reinstatement and extension. Beyond this general framing, it is not yet known which specific firms, industries, or criteria the bill targets.
The bill was introduced in the House on August 10, 2026, by Rep. Gilbert Cisneros (D-CA), and its status is "Introduced" — the earliest stage of the legislative process. It would next need to be considered by the relevant House committee (typically Small Business), which could hold hearings, mark up the bill, or take no action. Only after committee action could it advance to a House floor vote, and it would still need Senate passage and presidential signature to become law.
