This bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to follow the standard federal rulemaking process in the Administrative Procedure Act when it makes rules about public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. Under current law, rules on those matters are exempt from that process, which includes publishing proposed rules and allowing the public to comment. The bill would remove that exemption for the SBA only.
