8(a) Small Business Integrity and Stability Act of 2026

This bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to add one year to the 8(a) Program participation term of small businesses that were in the program between January 20, 2025, and September 30, 2026, unless a business declines the extension. It would also let certain businesses rejoin the program as if they had never left, if they were removed for not responding to a specific federal information request or if they voluntarily withdrew between January 19, 2026, and October 1, 2026. Businesses whose removal was upheld on appeal would not qualify. The SBA would have to issue rules within 15 days, and could not spend money on the Administrator's official travel if a final rule is not issued within 75 days. For participants already found socially disadvantaged by June 11, 2026, the SBA would have to keep using the social disadvantage rules in effect on that date.
