White House Conference on Small Business Act of 2025

This bill renews the law that allows the President to hold a White House Conference on Small Business, setting the national conference between December 31, 2025, and December 1, 2026. The conference would identify and rank problems facing small businesses and evaluate federal small business assistance programs. It raises the cap on the conference participation fee from $10 to $200 and sets rules for who may serve as delegates, including appointees of governors, members of Congress, and the President. The conference would be paid for only with gifts and donations from non-federal sources, and no other federal funds would be authorized. The bill also lets the Small Business Administration sponsor or cosponsor events for small businesses with private groups and state or local governments.
