SBA AI Adoption Reporting Act of 2026
Latest action (4 May 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
H.R. 8664, the SBA AI Adoption Reporting Act of 2026, would require the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, acting through the agency's Chief Information Officer, to implement recommendations from a Government Accountability Office report on artificial intelligence use and risks in small business contracting and innovation research. Within 45 days of enactment, the Administrator would have to submit an implementation plan to the House and Senate Small Business Committees describing how the SBA will establish policies for disclosing its AI use, consistent with existing federal AI governance requirements under the Advancing American AI Act and related Office of Management and Budget guidance. The plan must define roles and responsibilities for collecting, summarizing, and publishing AI use cases, document key decisions, and include timelines for completing each required action.
The bill primarily affects the SBA itself, requiring it to formalize internal AI governance and reporting practices. Indirectly, it could affect small businesses and stakeholders who interact with SBA programs related to contracting and innovation research, since greater transparency about the agency's AI use may inform how those programs are administered. Congress and its oversight committees would also be affected, as they would receive the new implementation plan and could use it to monitor SBA's AI-related practices.
The bill was introduced on May 4, 2026, by Rep. Hillary Scholten and referred to the House Committee on Small Business. It has not yet been voted on. Next steps would include committee consideration, potential amendment, and a vote before it could proceed to the full House and, if passed, to the Senate.
