What this bill does
H.R. 10312, the SBA Spanish Resource Report Act, would require the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to submit a report to the House and Senate Small Business Committees within 180 days of enactment. The report must inventory Spanish-language resources and services offered through SBA programs—such as websites, application materials, guidance documents, and customer service—and describe similar offerings through SBA resource partners like small business development centers, women's business centers, SCORE chapters, and Veteran Business Outreach Centers. It would also require data on usage and geographic trends where available, a breakdown of related costs, an assessment of operational considerations, and any recommendations. The report must be unclassified and posted publicly online, followed by a briefing to the committees within 30 days.
The bill primarily affects the SBA, which would bear the administrative work of compiling and delivering the report and briefing. It also indirectly concerns Spanish-speaking small business owners and entrepreneurs, since it seeks to document what language-access resources currently exist for them, though the bill explicitly does not require the SBA to create, expand, reduce, or eliminate any such resources.
The bill was introduced on September 8, 2026, by Rep. Gabe Evans with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Small Business. It has not yet received a committee vote or floor action; further steps would include committee consideration before any advancement toward a full House vote.
